“We are really excited to have Charley Hutton and Ed ‘The Outlaw’ Jones with us this year,” said Russ Butler, coordinator and instructor of auto collision repair and refinishing. “Ed is helping us celebrate our 10-year anniversary and we are helping celebrate his 40-year (racing) anniversary.”

Hutton was born and raised in Caldwell. He served as Boyd Coddington's shop supervisor on Discovery Channel's “American Hot Rod.” Hutton has worked at many premier shops in the industry: Foose Design, Rad Rides by Troy, The Roadster Shop, Greening Auto Company, Miranda Built, Customs & Hot Rods of Andice and CAL Automotive Creations. He was part of the restoration team for the 2013 Ridler winner, the 1940 Ford "Checkered Past,” and the 1967 Miranda Nova.

Jones is celebrating his 40-year drag racing anniversary this year. He has toured all across America and internationally. Jones roars down the dragstrip in either his stage coach or his fire truck at speeds of more than 100 miles an hour on two wheels, and he is one of about 11 wheel-standers licensed by the National Hot Rod Association in America to run on NHRA approved strips. He was featured on the international television show "Spectacular World of Guinness Records,” as he set the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest wheel-stand on a dragstrip, a record he still holds. Jones is sponsored by the Jelly Belly Candy Company.

“Wendy and I have traveled around with the car for 40 years and we get to celebrate these 40 years in our hometown,” Jones said. “The college does so much for the community that we are we are looking forward to being a part of that.”
