Mikey, it has CFCs that are not too environmentally friendly.The stuff really cools things down and if you touch the manifold if someone got a little nuts(nah,drag racers wouldn't do something stupid like that)you would get the same result as touching dry ice.

Instead of removing the water it would probably freeze it.Going down the track it could return back to liquid and cause problems down track.I think NHRA is correct in their ruling to ban the spray and to also ban dry ice.I forgot the price but someone i know who used dry ice said the price was high and it's not available everywhere.
