Non-glycol coolant?

Do you mix it with anything? like anti freeze

No, that's the point.
You're not allowed to use glycol based anti-freeze on racetracks, coz it's very slippery if it escapes.
You don't need anti-freeze unless you live somewhere the temperature gets below 0 Celsius.

I commented on the Antifreeze for its anti corrosive qualities not its anti coagulation qualities.
Can you get non glycol anti freeze? I think Redline WW advises that you may want to mix antfreeze with it.

You guys need to get your heads around the difference between Ethylene Glycol (conventional base for anti-freeze, not legal for road racing) and Propylene Glycol (base for Engine Ice, Amsoil Propylene Glycol AF and a number of others) calling all anti-freeze glycol is a misnomer.

Propylene Glycol based coolants are 100% legal for MNZ road race events (I have a letter from them to prove it) and coolants using this base have all the lubricating and anti corrosion properties of conventional anti-freeze without all the toxic side effects. Propylene Glycol is safe enough to drink.....if you were keen enough. Maxima Cool Aide is totally glycol free according to their literature though it's hard to find what it is actually based on (though the MSDS sheets state that it has toxic ingredients) so not sure of it's legality for road racing.

Anti-freeze is also a bit misleading as the main requirement these days is more as an anti corrosion agent due to most modern engines having a mix of different metals making them prone to corrosion from electrolysis etc.
Though of course it still acts as an anti-freeze agent and also as an anti-boil agent.
