PTFE (or polytetrafluoroethylene) race hoses provide a valuable solution for the ever-improving racecar industry. Racecars need durability as well as flexibility while maximizing performance on the track. A PTFE racing hose offers the best of both worlds without sacrificing quality.

PTFE's Amazing Versatility for Many Industries

One key advantage PTFE hoses offer over traditional race hoses is remarkable versatility. PTFE hoses can be applied to and utilized in many types of industries including high purity food handling, chemical transfer, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, and transportation. And fortunately, in the racecar industry PTFE race hoses are designed using various methods to meet the demands of each individual mechanic and racecar.

Benefits of PTFE Race Hoses

Because of its unique construction and attributes, the benefits of the PTFE race hose are many. It has a wide operating temperature range and can withstand temperatures from -73 degrees C to +260 degrees C (-100 degrees F to +500 degrees F). It has a vast chemical compatibility, meaning the hose can withstand a variety of fluids at extreme temperatures and pressure levels.

PTFE custom race hoses are very flexible and strong. When combined with a stainless steel braid, these hoses can out-perform other hoses under high-pressure conditions, even when there is continuous vibration and flexing. PTFE race hoses can hold their own during hundreds of thousands of flex cycles without failure. They are non-stick with low friction to prevent substances from adhering to the interior walls of the hose. This allows fluids to maintain their purity while flowing through the hose, and it allows the alternate use of varied fluids in the same hose without risk of fluid mixture.

PTFE is moisture-resistant so it does not absorb fluids as they pass through. It adds no taste, odor, or color to the fluids. That's why PTFE has been FDA-approved for use in the food industry as well. Another advantage is PTFE race hoses are built to last. When properly installed, they are not affected by exposure to chemicals, weather elements, or time. They are resistant to UV light and oxidation, discoloration, and surface fouling. They are essentially ageless when well taken care of. PTFE hoses are also lightweight, which helps reduce the overall racecar weight for improved racing performance.

With so many benefits, it's no wonder many race hose manufacturers are producing PTFE hoses today. Goodridge, for example, produces various types of PTFE race hoses, including smooth or convoluted hoses, hoses with stainless steel braiding or an Aramid Fibre outer braid, and races hoses of various sizes and shapes. Besides hoses, there are numerous hose fittings such as AN fittings and other racing products to meet the needs of every racecar machine shop.

You can easily find PTFE race hoses online, and you can use the Internet to learn how to maximize your racecar performance with proper race hoses and hose fittings. You'll find PTFE race hoses for almost any purpose - fuel cells in lift pump applications, brake fluid lines, fuel injection lines, pressure gauge lines, nitrous systems, hydraulic wing lines, fire extinguisher systems, and so forth. With so many benefits, it's easy to see why the PTFE racing hose has revolutionized the racecar experience!

Speedsource Faced Extreme Challenge

The SpeedSource Race Engineering team had a long road trip at Lime Rock Park this Memorial Day weekend.

The team faced a test of having only a few short days to make adjustments to the #69 Mondial Forwarding/Freedom Harley-Davidson sponsored RX-8 that suffered in the closing stages of the Laguna Seca race which took place the weekend before the Lime Rock event. Nonetheless, the #69 did a good job. And that is because of the assistance of the folks at MazdaSpeed who had all the necessary parts flown straight to Connecticut. The SpeedSource crew, who worked tirelessly just to make sure that the car race ready, was also a big part.

Drivers Jose Armengol and Dan Allen were both new to the scenic yet thrilling 1.53 mile circuit and both were impressed.

Armengol said that they have been warned that the track seems simple, but that it takes lots of time to learn and he can now attest for that firsthand. He added that there are nuances that he only picked up on at the end of his race weekend, and he was sure that they would still be learning the track if they spent an entire month at Lime Rock Park. According to him, in a tenth of a second around, this track is really something and making a clean pass in this track is quite difficult with the field as close as it is.

Having qualified 18th, the #69 would begin the race from the 9th row.

With Armengol in the car, after dropping back to 22nd early, the #69 reached 14th slot an hour into the 2.5 hour long race. In almost the midway point of the race, Dan Allen took the controls of the SpeedSource RX-8. Unfortunately, during a pit stop, the team went a lap down to the leading racers. The team never gave up despite dropping all the way back as the 24th and one lap back as Allen posted lap times as compared to the leaders of the race. In the later part of the game, the #69 would make it all the way back to run in 11th place and back on the lead lap. Unfortunately, due to a gearbox failure, the car was stuck in top gear.

Allen said that the only gear that was available was the 6th so they went on to at least finish the race and collect some points. He added that their team learned a lot from last weekend’s race and will apply their efforts towards their next upcoming Canadian race.

In the Drivers Championship points tables for the Koni Challenge Series ST Class, Allen and Armengol remain in the third place. The team looks every ready again and challenged for podiums and wins at the Mosport in Ontario, Canada June 15-17, after two difficult races that made the #69 finish lower than the 10th place for the first time this season.

Brake Job Sequence...?

What's up people...

I've been wanting to replace the brakes on my Honda Prelude for a while now and I just finally got everything I need together. I got brembo front and rear rotors, hawk pads, goodridge brake lines, ate brake fluid to flush out all the old fluid, and a can of 1200 degree spray paint for the calipers/rotor hats.

Anyways, in what order would be best to complete this brake job? I mean I don't want brake fluid dripping all over the freshly painted calipers and I don't wanna have to bleed the lines like 50 times.

Thanks

start with the brakes furthest from the brake master cylinder and work your way closer.
