I know that coolant will protect the cooling system but also screw up the track if it spills......

It could also be the Golden Rule......Whoever has the Gold, makes the rules..

I seem to remember reading on the forum that some of the late model Super Stock cars were allowed to use some sort of anti freeze due to factory requirements. Does not apply to older cars or poor folks in general.

PS. I thought the minerals in tap water promoted rust. Still use distilled in a race radiator.
