My first thought is to check the wheel bearings, they will make some strange noises in the early phase of failure that sometimes only happens under load (so a check in the pits seems ok).

Tim is a great guy and I have raced against him several times - I thought that he drove the Blue Angels car? Lime green and blue sounds like Doug Boccignone - another very good driver that I have had epic track battles with. The Norcal SPB guys are all very good drivers.
