Coolant or straight water for cooling

dreamr · May 1st, 2008, 09:03 AM

I was just wondering if I should run coolant or just water for a drag only car?

i don't see why you would use anything different than whats normally used (which is a 50/50 mix). but im not really sure

Thanks for the reply; I actually got my answer from an official at one of the tracks. They would like all cars to run water and you can use a corrosion additive with it. I guess when a car spits antifreeze on the track it is a bitch to clean up.

straight water. it absorbs heat better and it's not difficult to remove from the track.
