What kind of mechanical fan was it? It was one of those stupid flex fans....And it flexed a little too far. It was not a factory fan on a clutch. Ran the weekend before with 6 passes on it and no issues.

I think the tracks realize that if they started asking the people with late model cars to drain coolant that they would quickly run that revenue stream off. That group is also the least likely to put coolant on the track, at least from what I have seen.

We have WILD temperature swings here in the heartland. It can be 75 degrees and sunny one day and 30 below the next. If the late model cars can run antifreeze then so will I!

I get what you are saying, but people like you and I are way more likely to kick parts and coolant on the ground than the guy that is racing his hellcat or mustang or whatever. The late model guys are more likely to leave gear oil and driveshafts on the track.
