Get rid of the Prestone, your magnesium valve cover will rot away !!

Rural Columbus, about a half an hour from headworks park in Genoa if you ever been there. For as many quads that show up there every weekend I have only ever seen 3 dales there ever.

Do you guy recomend Engine Ice? Seems like a lot of people use it.

come on Ryanstones the whole state dont stink,
(I think. Maybe I'm just used to it.)

Engine Ice or Evans NGP+!

Evans NGP+Racing formula. Lower viscosity than NGP+.

Bla bla bla Ryanstones. I know you are from the hot bed of activity, but Nebraska is a state of it's own. I have been as far as North Platte. Also rode at Hastings and I'll get the name later. How far are you from there. I might know the other cannondales you saw.

4hrs from north platte.
Just was there 3 weeks ago to race my c'dale for the first time too.
Saw a nice moto there, was from JB racing I think. (Not sure of name)

I would stray from Evans...I have seen two personally with heat failures...the Evans does not transfer heat as well as regular coolant...and is alot worse for transfer than engine ice, you may also try Liquid Performance Race Coolant, I have had awesome luck with it, and it is cheap, $10 for a half gallon, and you won't use the whole thing. I noticed my fan runs twice as much now...why?? cause it is sucking more heat out of the motor...just like it should. Not throwing stones here, I have used Evans twice...and never again in my stuff...IMO. PS liquid performance and engine ice both drop temps on the motor, and are Magnesium and rare metal safe.

Why do cars boil over when running too hot? Because the coolant gets hotter.

Why does a Cdale fan run more often? Because the motor is running hotter.

Hot coolant = hot motor. Right?

I think the Evans NGP-R is the ticket.

Might have been chancy from C&D Racing. I delivered that moto to him. I have also been to Halsey. I was just curious how did you do in that race?
