Default Water on the track

I had to sit out twice Friday at the race because of water on the track. I had my ac off the whole time but the first two passes I got water on the track. It is not coolant so where does it come from? Do the C6 hold some AC water some place for a while?

Just make sure the AC is off for a while before you make a run and it should be fine.

If you're still dripping then you probably have a leak somewhere.

after my second pass it no longer did it. I guess there is a ledge or something that holds the AC drip water.

I can't think of anyplace where that would occur. The only outlet is the condensate drain tube and it "should" just discharge to the ground. Some cars have the tube located slightly to one side and it drips on the passenger side exhaust causing hissing/boiling sound that owners worry/complain about.

Your drain tube might be partially clogged or kinked so it might be delaying the discharge of water over a longer time. I suggest you check the tube and make sure it is clear and not kinked.
