Hey All:

I know you're not supposed to run antifreeze if you race.

Does anyone put anything in to fight corrosiion?

I use distilled water and water wetter.

Same here.

Does that do a good job or does it still rust up pretty bad?

Water wetter has a rust inhibitor. Be sure to change to anti-freeze for winter storage. I know how cold it gets in Champagne. I was stationed near there in 1966. Coldest I have ever been in my life.

The antifreeze is almost impossible to clean up off the track if it gets put down.

I run straight water in the duster..anti-freeze is a no no at the track...
