I love this coolant issue. Comes up like a bad weed here and there. To my knowledge, it has never been an NHRA rule that "coolant" (meaning anti-freeze) was banned. I have asked high level tech people at national events several times about this, and the answer is always "no rule". I even dripped some green stuff once on the line at a national, and all they wanted to know was the leak fixed? With the synthetic lubes today, any leak is a problem. I can keep 5-10 psi coolant contained AND 60-80 psi oil lines too. With all of the high priced aluminum being used, corrosion is not cool.

I'm ready for some flames.

RIP
