I don't mean to step on toes Woody but every track day that I have done or group I have done one withallow's engine ice. It may be different with the groups you run in.

all the tracks in the mid-west (that ive read) will NOT allow anything but water and water wetter. no engine ice or any other glycol based liquids.

Do all tracks include Mid-Ohio or Putnam Park? I've done both and when I go through tech they ask if I have engine ice or water wetter. Go to Sport Bike Track Time and check in their bike prep.
You will see that engine ice is OK.

huh, I know NESBA doesn't allow it for Advanced group and I know WERA doesn't. Pretty sure Barber won't allow it either but its hard to tell since most the groups I've ridden there with don't allow it themselves

again, even if it is legal its still glycol based according to their web site so its not a good idea to use on the track (water/water wetter is universally acceptable and works as well/better than engine ice)
engine ice cleans up similar to water/water wetter IF aLOT of water is readily available on the track to clean it up, it can't be left there to dry on its own (doesn't evaporate nearly as fast and is very slippery) and it can't be cleaned with oil dry. So a track would have to have a mobile water tank to clean up engine ice properly, which means morelost track timefor other riders because you didn't want to have to drain your cooling system again before winter...




and yeah for water wetter just mix it with the proper amount of distilled water (after flushing the system a few times. The water wetter protects against corrosion.

Well, I looked into it and Engine Ice is an acceptable coolant to use here (Gateway Int'l Raceway) in the MCRA (Midwest Cafe Racer's Association) trackdays or CCS racing.
