"you should not use any glychol based antifreeze/coolant in karts especially in MSA"

There doesn't seem to be any ruling about this.

Is your advice based on the idea that glycol is more slippery than other coolants if dumped on the track or on something else?

I can find for example that uninhibited glycol, in the presence of ferric ions, chlorides and copper oxides (often contaminants of tap water) will lead to accelerated corrosion especially at running temperatures, but I would have thought thats more a matter for the driver's pocket than the MSA and most glycol coolants will be inhibited anyway.

Of course, drinking glycol isn't recommended, but how many of us do?
