Topic: Midwest Teams - Get that water out!

Hey everyone!

Just a friendly reminder that it's gonna get below freezing in Chicago this weekend for the first time this year. Don't forget to get the water out of that engine that's been sitting since Gingerman. Coolant going in the Festiva tonight.

Or, just drive a Chrysler and have the water empty itself before the end of the race.

*thanks for the reminder

Thanks Bill!!!  Double checking our two cars now... They've not moved from the trailer since the race.

Re: Midwest Teams - Get that water out!

I've always done it the monday after a race.  My car has enough rust, don't need to leave water in it so the engine can start rusting from the inside.  Although with the white stuff I see falling outside my window those who haven't better do it real soon.

Three hundred and sixty five days ago, we were in route to Road America.  Give that a second to sink it.

Re: Midwest Teams - Get that water out!

Out of curiosity I checked the weather and the lowest will be 29 so we probably would have been fine, however with the wind today, towing the cars there would have been interesting.
