WHEREAS, in November 2022, the C.D. Hylton High School automotive team won the Hot Rodders of Tomorrow Challenge at the Specialty Equipment Market Association Show; and
WHEREAS, the C.D. Hylton High School automotive team, led by auto mechanics teacher Ed Stevens, traveled to Las Vegas to participate in the challenge, in which a team of five students were tasked with breaking down and rebuilding a Chevy 350 engine; and
WHEREAS, for the challenge, the C.D. Hylton High School automotive team could use only hand tools and was required to lubricate components, make all proper adjustments, and use proper torque procedures to ensure that the engine was in working order; and
WHEREAS, over the course of three days, the members of the C.D. Hylton High School automotive team completed four perfect runs, a feat never before accomplished in the history of the challenge; they were also the only team in the challenge with an average time under 20 minutes; and
WHEREAS, the victory was a tribute to the hard work and skill of the students, the leadership and guidance of their teachers and advisors, and the support of parents, friends, and the entire C.D. Hylton High School community; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, That the C.D. Hylton High School automotive team hereby be commended on winning the Hot Rodders of Tomorrow Challenge at the Specialty Equipment Market Association Show in 2022; and, be it
