Default Aftermarket radiator without fan?

Is it a bad idea to run an aftermarket radiator such as Fluidyne without a cooling fan? Sounds like a bad idea..but i've seen a couple people do it before.

well the drag cars only do one pass usually so there isnt much time to over heat

Why would you even run the risk? That is just stupid.

On my car it doesnt even get to 1/2 mark..Ive got a 90-93 integra raditator and B16a motor..Theres a fan but its hooked to a toggle switch and I never have to put it on,,even in heavy traffic..Summer is a different story though..

I have a koyo full size in my GSR and it runs fine without a fan, even in heavy traffic, needle never goes passed the halfway mark. I am going to be getting one of those 10" fans from that guy on here (b18turbo I believe....) and put that on the front or back, depending where it fits better, just for a safety measure.
