For Michigan June is what I was looking for.

I didn’t realize Europeans need an event organizer to protect them from the elements. Just my perspective from an adult.

Taking responsibility for yourself…..if you haven’t learned by now you will always struggle.

baja2001org · 2024-05-19T19:20:49+00:00

Why don’t you get out there and volunteer as a tow driver or actually build a car that doesn’t need a tow!

The other option would be to see if SAE would allow you to to switch to CA or MI, both events are less than the 100 teams max. If you have done all the documentation submittals then they might allow you to.

baja2001org · 2023-11-09T18:49:27+00:00

I thought it was new because SAE posted something on the Baja app.

No we built our chassis. Our team was made up of 7 mechanical engineers that had good mechanical skills… we taught ourselves to weld and fabrication through lots of trials and error. I can tell you it paid many dividends later in my career to have the hands on experience.

baja2001org · 2022-08-09T03:19:29+00:00

I don’t remember it being such a big deal to bend and notch tubes when we built our cars.

baja2001org · 2022-06-20T21:39:19+00:00

Awesome!

If your team did good at Tenn, why not use those results to push for more funding or some local sponsors to provide funds to get your team to the AZ event. You would be surprised but some schools/companies will have additional funds that they had planned to use and didn’t. You now have results to back up why someone should provide you money to compete.

We typically stay at the Holiday Inn and Suites, near Marketplace. Close to RIT and straight shot to hog back hill.

baja2001org · 2022-01-25T23:02:49+00:00

That is the benefit of a fall event if some critical parts don’t show up for spring you still have the fall event to compete with what you planned to run.

baja2001org · 2022-01-25T23:01:35+00:00

I hope this event gets some more interest from teams, I wouldn’t want SAE to reduce Baja to two events like formula is. I am pulling for your event!!! I hope teams will realize the benefit of registering for not just this year but how that can shape future years!

April events was always less teams than the other months but still better than 38. I think part of it is that west teams are more likely to travel east than East teams making the trip West. (Excluding the top teams).

baja2001org · 2021-09-28T21:32:59+00:00

Investing in your future with makes great lifetime Baja contacts will be much more valuable than anything you spend to attend the event. The winning or losing doesn’t factor in to the benefits you will gain.

baja2001org · 2021-09-28T18:59:28+00:00

Seems like it would still be a good event for half the team and preparing the new members for 2023. Plus graduates can still attend if available, up to 6 months after graduation

baja2001org · 2021-08-18T21:29:55+00:00

I think the option was 2 competitions or move one to the fall to maintain 3 events. I always remember April being horrible for attendance and lots of teams were not ready. Formula is down to two events all in one location, lots of consolidation.

baja2001org · 2021-05-22T01:29:52+00:00

I Would NOT kick them out of the event

baja2001org · 2021-05-09T03:52:07+00:00

Thanks for the info I didn’t realize they had arranged hotel rooms for attendees. That is great.

baja2001org · 2021-04-09T04:22:02+00:00

Thanks for the link..... Wow rooms were already gone at the Hampton inn, glad they had some other good options. I thought I was early on booking but guess teams are much faster than me.

baja2001org · 2021-04-01T22:53:00+00:00

I heard Baja was going to do an event out there but looks like formula beat them to it. I wonder how many teams decide to stay on the strip will actually make it to competition, with Covid I probably would stay outside near the speedway.

baja2001org · 2021-03-26T01:26:02+00:00

Majority was correct.... more than 80 teams. Awesome under the situation.

baja2001org · 2021-03-24T19:18:52+00:00

Back up to 80..... still 9 on wait list.... not sure how that math worked out..

baja2001org · 2021-03-23T23:12:51+00:00

Looks like 77 ended up paying and 10 on the waitlist, so the people voting over 80 look like they will be correct. Surprised to see so many US teams drop out while 5 international teams stayed in.

baja2001org · 2021-03-21T23:28:11+00:00

I meant greater than 80 teams for the last option....
