its distilled water, you can get it from save on for about 3$ for a 4L jug. but 2 jugs or so.

I think what you are looking for is Water Wetter, if you mix it with distilled water it will keep deposits and rust from forming in you engine.

If you are just doing one day out at the track, just put distilled water in. Then change the water over to new antifreeze/distilled water mixture the next day.

They want the antifreeze out of the system because if you loose a hose on the track it is very difficult to clean up.
