Thanks to all for your help.
After following the testing procedures, I found my battery to be on the way out AND a bad Voltage regulator. I went to the dealer popped them in myself and the warning lights are not showing up anymore.
Hotlap, The high reving of the engine was done to get a pedestrian to yield the right of way. Here in NYC people don't follow walk signals and have their iPods cranked.

Glad to know it was simpler to fix than a primary tear down and a damaged rotor keyway.

when the regulator goes bad it often kills the battery, so it doesn't surprise me that you had to replace both..
