It was great to meet everyone, and driving the goat was a blast. We put about 350 miles on it in Daytona, without a minute's trouble. The only thing I have found wrong so far is a bad bearing whine in the engine when you nail it. Still trying to locate the problem, gotta run, more testing required!
It's probably a bad alternator bearing, Bill. My car makes a similar noise, and I almost let it slide but luckily someone at a carshow followed me to my parking spot and was nice enough to let me know it was an alternator bearing going out. He was 99.9999% positive it was the alternator going out and I hadn't even opened the hood yet. He seemed to doubt his own diagnosis when I opened the hood though.
