The Hot Rodders of Tomorrow (HROT), makers of the timed engine building competition for high school students, has announced additional events for its new HROT Junior Engine Challenge have been added to the 2018 calendar.

Due to the popularity of the Junior Engine Challenge, and the importance of getting youngsters interested in the racing industry, HROT will be holding a minimum of 18 events in 2018, starting in February at the Race & Performance Expo and ending at the PRI Trade Show in Indianapolis from December 6–8. The group will also be participating in all the Midwest Junior Super Series events and most of the regular HROT challenge events during the year.

Developed for kids between the ages of 5-and 18-years-old, it's designed is to “get wrenches in their hands and grease under their fingernails” by taking apart and rebuilding Briggs & Stratton 5 Horsepower single-cylinder engines.

A team consists of two members; one teammate must be 5-18 years of age. Each team will have to completely disassemble and reassemble the engine so it is functional and in running condition. Basic hand tools and equipment must be utilized to complete this task.
