Autocrossing is unlikely to generate the heat levels needed to radiate enough heat to melt the hose. Obviously the photo is of a serious track beast judging by the rotor and the double cooling hoses.
The advice IS appreciated however some people work on the "I did it to my car so you MUST do it to yours" or "I bought the XYZ sway bar kit and now I can go around the I370 off-ramps at warp speed" without considering what the owner is looking for.

Yes, you did crap on his advice and that's why Morris responded the way he did. We both saw it as crapping on his advice. That's our perception, yours obviously is different.
My shop recommended changing the hoses too, and the Kirkhams don't meander in the fenderwell like that pic shown, and I do not autocross or track my car. Makes perfect sense to me. But please, lets just rely on your vast experience in SPF sales as opoosed to someone who has actually spent time at a track, which is what the OP plans to do.
