Thanks Chris... I wish that PCA or at least RTR would absolutely mandate no antifreeze at our events... as i have a 993, doesn't really apply to me. More concerned about the other guys spewing antifreeze on the track in front of me.
Just as an example... here's a video from VIR this weekend. Both drivers were lucky to escape with no major injuries. I had two incidents in DEs last season where I hit antifreeze on the track... one time resulted in a 360 spin entering the carusel at NJMP.... very very lucky I didn't run into anyone (or anything). In this VIR video, it was oil... but very easily could have been antifreeze.

I'd like to see that addressed before people go out buying this stuff thinking that it's acceptable for road-racing and road course applications.Dr. Glen - The tried and true approach over the years has been to use straight water with some Redline Water-Wetter mxed in.
