Guess we need to tell all the 'punk kids' who finally take it to the track, that sorry, they need to go home because they have anti-freeze in their radiators on their street cars.
makes sense to me, I'd rather they go race on on the streets than to risk one of them getting antifreeze on the track and making me crash.

any argument you make for why antifreeze is bad, applies to ALL fluids, so, sorry, I don't buy it.
"tiny leak, sprays a mist over the track nobody can see"
isn't that possible with an oil line too? guess we need to make everybody drain the oil out of their engines before they race. wouldn't want a fine mist of oil sprayed on the track before you run your 8 second car.
Same with all the automatic transmissions. you could get a tiny leak on one of the coolant lines, and leave a spray of mist of ATF on the track too.
I see it now. next year in the NHRA rule book, all petroleum based products are banned. congratulations, you don't need engine diapers anymore! now you'll just fill your engines, transmissions, radiators, with pure H2O to prevent possibly leaking said slippery products onto the track.
