No doubt - in the middle of the Summer if your engine is at normal operating temperature, and you sit for several minutes with no airflow, your engine is liable to start puking water / water wetter.

However, if you plan ahead, and get the engine just a bit warm and shut it off when you first get to grid, you will be OK. Then just start it up again when you get the 1 minute warning.

Good luck.
