“Hot Rodders of Tomorrow provides youth in our industry with the chance to further their education through an exciting competition format,” Norm Young, president CEO of WELD, said in a release. “We are enthusiastic supporters of programs like this that encourage the youth of tomorrow to become a part of the automotive industry. Hot Rodders of Tomorrow is a fantastic organization that helps instill a passion for motorsports and the automotive industry in general.”
Last year, Hot Rodders of Tomorrow reached over 770 high school students. During the past six years the organization has impacted over 3,114 students. The 2015 season consists of 14 events, which include the Dual Championship at the SEMA Show and the PRI Tradeshow.
