Freeze plugs

I had this happen in the race trailer. We drained the water for the winter. We thought it was empty . The one plug fell out. We decided to reinstall them all. Came to find out there was still water in the other side, Yes we had opened the side drain plugs and closed them before we left it down and parked it. After that occurred we just left them open for the winter. There was no damage to the block.
I see your point. I suppose there could still be some water in the block.
