WHEREAS, in November 2022, the C.D. Hylton High School automotive engine team won the Hot Rodders of Tomorrow Engine Challenge at the Specialty Equipment Market Association Show; and
WHEREAS, the C.D. Hylton High School automotive team, led by automotive technology instructor Ed Stevens, traveled to Las Vegas to participate in the challenge, in which a team of five students was tasked with disassembling a Chevy 350 engine to the crankshaft and reassembling it; 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 engine team completed four perfect runs, a feat never before accomplished in the history of the engine 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 teacher, 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 engine team hereby be commended on winning the Hot Rodders of Tomorrow Engine Challenge at the Specialty Equipment Market Association Show in 2022; and, be it
RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates prepare a copy of this resolution for presentation to Ed Stevens as an expression of the General Assembly's admiration for the C.D. Hylton High School automotive team's achievements.
