    Glad I went back and re-read this thread. I was all set to fill the Sv with Engine Ice and call it done for next season...

    -26f actually... I just went and checked the bottle.



    So what's the right answer? Is Engine Ice or Coolaid LRRS legal or not? You ran it but someone else says it's a no-go.

    Just read about Engine Ice. Does it actually help? Correct me if I am wrong, I believe that the temperature on streets rises more than it does on track (Atleast that's what happened with me) . So is it advisable to use Engine Ice on the street especially is you stuck in traffic on I-95?
