No Antifreeze at the Track
What are you guys running in your truck for tracks that wont let you run antifreeze? I daily drive my truck and was originally thinking about just filling it up with straight water for the summer; but then I thought about the lack of lubrication for the water pump and inevitable corrosion...

Use purified water instead of tap water. It has less minerals and junk in it to cause buildup in your system...

That about completely sums it up.
This is also relevant for any track, for instance my motorcycle on a road course.

The antifreeze you have linked still has glycol in it which I believe is the slippery stuff they do not want on the drag strip...
Needs to be water and legal additives only...
Distilled water or purified water is good to run though!

Maybe I am being misdirected in the link... But it is taking me to a Valvoline/Zerex G20 antifreeze or something like that, which I believe is the euro formula antifreeze used for VWs and such...
