The one year I tried that, some water got trapped inside and pushed out a freeze plug, may or may not have affected the head gasket. I did pull the drain plug on the side of the block too. Not good to visit your toy in Feb, and wonder whats that on the floor!
Now for the fleet, I take no chances, period. Every year before halloween, I simply empty the radiator with the drain spout, put one gallon of 100% antifreeze and fill up to the top with 50/50, run it to circulate it through the system and call it a day, it usually tests to -40 or -50, so good to go.
