JHL Cords and Tapes: Powering Race Teams at Buttonwillow
When a race team rolls into a paddock, they’re setting up what amounts to a small workshop — battery chargers, fuel pumps, power tools, data logging equipment. All of it needs power. All of it needs to be organized. And when something breaks down, fixes need to be fast.
Partnership with Tracking Ponies
JHL Industries partners with Tracking Ponies, a racing team and YouTube channel that competes at tracks across North America. At events like Buttonwillow Raceway in Southern California, the team relies on JHL’s extension cords and tapes as core parts of their track-day kit.
Extension Cords in the Paddock
Race teams use extension cords for battery chargers, fuel pumps, and power tools for last-minute repairs. Cords get run over, stepped on, and exposed to oil, fuel, and outdoor conditions. Custom-printed cords are particularly valuable in a busy paddock where multiple teams work side by side — your name on every cord means less confusion, fewer lost cords, and a cleaner setup overall.
Tapes at the Track
- Duct tape — for hose repairs, holding engine bay components, and quick structural fixes
- Gaffer tape — for securing cords on the floor where residue-free removal matters
- Masking tape — for numbering cars on the front and doors before an event
