The Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Show is a leading event in the automotive performance and motorsports industry, uniting top brands, racers, and technology. A highlight of PRI week is the Hot Rodders of Tomorrow engine challenge, which centers on automotive education and hands-on skills.
The Hot Rodders of Tomorrow competition challenges high school automotive technology students nationwide to assemble an engine under real-world conditions. Teams are judged on precision, accuracy, teamwork, and efficiency—the same standards as professional race teams and shops. AutoMeter has been a proud supporter of the Hot Rodders of Tomorrow program since its inception, recognizing the importance of developing future automotive professionals through technical excellence and hands-on experience.
One team that stood above the competition was York County School of Technology – Team AutoMeter, whose exceptional preparation and execution earned them the overall victory during PRI week. Their winning performance showcased not only advanced engine assembly skills but also the professionalism and attention to detail required throughout the automotive performance industry.
For the AutoMeter team, supporting Hot Rodders of Tomorrow aligns perfectly with the brand’s commitment to innovation, precision, and education. From grassroots racing to professional motorsports, accurate data and reliable instrumentation play a critical role, and these students are already learning the importance of doing things the right way from the start. Programs like Hot Rodders of Tomorrow help bridge the gap between the classroom and the shop floor, giving students direct exposure to automotive careers, motorsports opportunities, and performance technology. Events held at the PRI Show provide invaluable visibility and industry connections for young builders ready to become the hot rodders of tomorrow. Congratulations to York County School of Technology on an outstanding win at PRI. AutoMeter is proud to support, inspire, and educate the hot rodders of tomorrow. We look forward to seeing these students continue to grow, compete, and lead the industry forward!
