Future engine technology and innovation will be on display once again at this year’s 28th annual PRI Trade Show, and future engine builders and technicians will take center stage, too, as part of the Hot Rodders of Tomorrow Engine Challenge National Championship.
For the second consecutive year, the Hot Rodders of Tomorrow engine build competition has been split into a Dual Championship format, with qualifying teams competing in semifinals at both the recently completed SEMA Show and the PRI Trade Show at the Indiana Convention Center, December 10-12. The top four teams from the SEMA Show and PRI Show will then face off twice on Friday, December 11, and then once more on Saturday, the 12th. The team with the best average time will be crowned the 2015 Hot Rodders of Tomorrow Engine Challenge National Champion.
“The Hot Rodders of Tomorrow has become one of the most popular events during Race Industry Week,” said John Kilroy, producer of the PRI Trade Show. “It’s amazing to see high school students fully take apart and put together an engine in less than 17 minutes. Even more important, the scholarships provided to every competitor can change a young person’s life. This is an incredible program that provides a terrific entry into the sport, while also helping to develop the sport’s future innovators.”
The HROT engine challenge is the premier engine build competition for young automotive talent. Six-person teams of automotive technology students from high schools across the country compete to disassemble and reassemble a small-block engine with aftermarket components in the fastest time.
More than 150 teams from across the nation competed in 12 qualifying events across eight states to work their way toward the championship, with $3.8 million worth of scholarships available to competitors. Four teams have already advanced from the SEMA competition, with Team ARP from Peach County High School in Fort Valley, Georgia, emerging as the top seed. The team won the SEMA Dual Championship with a time average of 17:20, and set a new national record of 16:11.
Burton Center for Arts and Technology from Virginia earned last year’s Hot Rodders of Tomorrow Engine National Championship at the PRI Trade Show.
The PRI Trade Show will feature approximately 1200 racing industry suppliers occupying 3200 booths while exhibiting the latest developments in auto racing technology. Buyers from throughout the US and 70 countries are anticipated for the world's premier trade show for motorsports professionals.
