RE: coolant
ORIGINAL: krobberts
I understand using distilled water, that's always been a best practice for me, but I am just trying to figure out what happens if the fluid is to slick, and what is meant by the term slick. If the water pump is driven by an outside source, it doesn't seem like there would be anything to slip?

RE: coolant
The slick stuff (non-approved for track) is any coolant that contains Ethyl Glycol. Approved stuff for most tracks is water or water wetter or a non-ethyl glycol based anti-freeze/coolant, such as aPoly-Glycol brand, such as Evans, 7th Gear, Liquid Performance, and Engine Ice.

RE: coolant
Yeah, in the case that you crash, or you happen to leak some. Saves hours for track crew from cleaning up a slick spot, which could potentially make someone else wipe out if they hit it.
