So now that trips through freezing weather to get to the track are most likely over till some time in late fall or next winter do you guys think I should dump the Engine Ice out of the Trumpet and put in my usual water/Water Wetter?

I think STT and FastTrax require water for A group?
I have no fear of running A w/NESBA any time soon so that's not a concern :-)

I think if you are not doing any days until May, I would wait until April to change it out. But since you keep your bike indoors, you'd probably be OK.

The way you are improving, I wouldn't doubt you get to A group sooner than you think.

I run Engine Ice year round in both bikes. No issues with higher temps either and I run tracks out in the desert here. We've seen temps of 110+ during the day. Not much fun riding tho when you are that hot. Bike does fine tho.

i think my biggest "issue" is with riding with STT, etc. who require water/water watter - just a matter of it I ride with them this year which is likely. sort of a question of whether I should just do it now or wait till (if) i have to.

I believe you can leave it in...

6) Advanced and Intermediate group riders must use water, water wetter or a non-ethyl glycol based anti-freeze/coolant. Approved Poly Glycol brands are: Evans, 7th Gear, Liquid Performance, and Engine Ice. Automotive ethyl glycol based coolants are not allowed.
