As many times as ive watched the Nascar and CART cars qualify on ovals,
ive never seen anybody concerned or even anybody check the track for
fluids down on the track. Im no eagle but I do often see the fluids
leaking from the right rear part of the car. (Which is coincidence that
the vent tube exits there, huh.) I guess its just proof that the water
dries rapidly enough to not be a problem for the next car on course.

Id say yes as long as the Water Wetter is used. If not, hen you gotta go
with the 50/50 mix to keep the corrosion in check. Then again, you never
know when its gonna freeze here. LOL!!
