Only in its second year, the team moved up in the rankings from 39th in the U.S. to 25th, and earned $10K in scholarships to many schools.
From CCSD: The eight-member team vied for honors and scholarships in the Hot Rodders of Tomorrow Dual National Championship held in Las Vegas. Only in its second year, the team moved up in the rankings from 39th in the U.S. to 25th, and earned $10,000 in scholarships to various schools across the United States.
For the competition, students deconstructed a V-8 engine and reassembled it to manufacturer’s specifications. Groups are timed on how quickly they disassemble and reassemble the engine in its entirety. The teams are scored on speed and accuracy.
The team members are: Jacob Allred, Adam Edwards, Kacey Hearn, Chaz Johnston, Jason Kissoon, Spenser Mann, Gaven Reamy and Thomas Warren; they are coached by Chuck Wilson, the school’s auto tech instructor, and volunteer coach Ron Shultheis.

Congratulations to our Hot Rodders!”
