Engine Ice has a glycol component, while water wetter does not.I understand why anti-freeze is an issue I want to know what is the issue with something like Engine Ice.
Correct, and glycol is not allowed in advanced group, whether it's traditional ethylene glycol (the green stuff) or propylene glycol (engine ice-and still an antifreeze). If it has glycol of either type, it's still slippery.Engine Ice has a glycol component, while water wetter does not.
The 'no engine ice' or 'evans' coolant rule is for the Advance group only.why is Engine Ice not allowed even though standard Anti-Freeze is?
The rules and reasons are clear. But, in various orgs, I see control riders running glycol-based antifreeze in their bikes. During the winter, I've been guilty of a few TDs with glycol. Simply because trailering my bike for hours, exposes it to the cold NE winter weather to GA and FL.
Also, twice this year (2023), the novice or intermediate group crashed, spilling antifreeze or oil on the track, resulting in a long delay for cleanup. That didn't occur at an N2 event, but a spill / cleanup event like that could occur with any TD org in any class (oil or coolant).
Thoughts?
