Default Re: DQ for "icing"?

This practice of cold water and ice has been going on for many years, I can remember first starting out in the early 80's with a friend of mine at E-Town. He did the same prior to his Record runs, or class elim. back then they ment someting. Today a class win in some classes is still a great achievment, but others only have to race themselves, where is the fun in that.

I can understand being DQ'd for this, realisticly you should be DQ'd for dropping anything on the racing surface, water, fuel, headers, whatever... I have seen alot of cars that somehow get past tech and on thier first run of the day drop **** out of the car. Water from ice has got to be the easiest thing to cleanup...
