What does it mean when white smoke comes out of my exhaust? I was racing my supra when it blew a radiator hose. Then I think the motor ate a bunch of fluid through the intake? Is this bad?

burning coolant. Keep an eye on it for a few days. It should clean up. Also I would suggest cleaning the whole engine bay (hosing it down and letting it dry). Ethynal Glycal (green coolant) is very corrosive and could cause havoc if left to sit on contacts.

All kidding aside, I did blow my motor this weekend. I lost my coolent hose that runs along the block to the heater. Lost a bunch of fluid between the 1/8 mile and the 1000 foot mark. The turbo sucked up a bunch of it, and I do believe the pistons tried to compress a bit of coolent. So, long story short, my motor is hurt and will retire for the winter early.
