Default Need replacement brake ducting

I need a reccomendation, my brake duct material is hosed basically the duct is torn in half. I am going to New Orleans Motorsports park on Friday so I need to come up with something I can find locally to replace the actual duct material. Does anyone have suggestions for something that will work?

Its a C6 Z06

The hose or the brake duct itself? I have found fire proof hose in various lengths and sizes at a local aviation parts supply house. Check listings near a major airport. Otherwise you can try L G Motorsports. They carry brake spindle ducts and probably have spare hose on hand.

Not the duct just the hose itself, it is a lg setup but I don't think they can get it to me by Friday morning before I leave. I guess if I have too I can have then overnight it too me in the morning

Can't you just ghetto rig it for a single track day? Pop holes in either side, zip tie the halves together, and duct tape the shjt out of it.

Maybe see if LG could have it delivered to the track? I used them to replace my old worn out brake hoses and they are very good quality.
