Is there a better way to promote automotive and motorcycle classes than a hot rod car show?

Probably not.

The Yavapai College Career and Technical Education Center (C-TEC) is presenting Hot Rod Fever to benefit auto department scholarships.

From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 30, more than 200 vehicles will be on display at C-TEC, located at 220 Ruger Road in Prescott. There is limited parking at C-TEC, so organizers are asking the public to park at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church or at Rugers. Volunteers will shuttle people to C-TEC. VIP parking is available at C-TEC for those willing to pay $5.
