Spring shake down cruise
Went on this years shake down cruise today. A very successful day. Car ran GREAT
Pulled HARD 
cruised smoothly
and took the tight corners like a champ
Only 1 small problem. Yesterday the battery was dead and I had to charge it over nite. Got it to 100%. After todays run (4hrs) I checked the battery and it was still at 100%. But it was quite warm --- almost hot actually. My gauge ran on the high side all day while cruising. Here's a pic of the gauge while cruising.
If I'm parked and idling it reads "0"
Is it possible that my regulator is bad? This would be the easiest to fix so that is what I am hoping for.
