Gary - I am not justifying using it. The OP asked if he could get it and I said yes and said that pretty much any track in the us he is good to go, which as far as I know is true. However, I will defend this bit, for traveling to the US for trackdays in the winter, IMO using Engine Ice is a handy option. One can say... you can transport the bike and change to water there, but that can be a PIA and create other problems. We had a couple of days in Florida (last year) with frost on our bikes and little puddles frozen over in the mornings. Unless you changed over to water the day of the trackday and took it out again every night, you would have been risking bike problems. Considering these tracks allow regular antifreeze, I think Engine Ice is the lesser of evils.
Anyway - with the new insurance laws, most of us probably will not be doing US trackdays anytime soon, so it is most likely a moot point.
