Worst things to drop on the track.
1. Oil/Hydraulic Fluid
2. Coolant
3. Go Pro/Car parts
4. Water

I dropped water when my coolant boiled over coming into a hard braking zone. Gave the guy behind me a code brown moment, he came up to me afterwards asking if I had dropped coolant on the track but I showed him the tank full of water. Not swapping your coolant for a track day is considered a bit of a **** move considering how easy it usually is to drain and fill, you don't need to flush the system just get most of it out. Had it been coolant it would have caused a lot more problems and wasted at least 10min of everyone's track time.
