Baja SAE is an intercollegiate competition, sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers, where students design, build, test, and race an off-road vehicle. National competitions are held every summer, where teams from every state and countries around the world put their vehicle through rigorous events. The CWRU Baja team first competed in 2001 and has since competed at nine national Baja SAE competitions.
This vehicle competed in the June 2010 competition in Rochester, NY, where it traversed a lake in CWRU Baja’s first water competition. Since then, the car has been retrofitted with a more traditional floor and side panels to help save weight. Recently, Bingham’s Best Brand and Car 48 took 2nd place at University of Louisville’s Midnight Mayhem competition. Car 48 marked the start of a new era for Bingham’s Best Brand, with the return of the rear-mount engine and a primary focus on creating durable and serviceable vehicles.
Just show up! We meet from 4 to 7 every Tuesday and Thursday in Reinberger Design Studio (Glennan 821) or the Bingham Student Workshop depending on the time of year.
No experience is required to join the Baja Team, we can teach you anything you need to know to be an integral member of the team. Even if you are interested in the project, but don't like hands-on machining, there are reports to be written, design work to be done and lots of testing, electrical work, etc.
If you want to know how you can help go to the CONTACT page and email one of the team captains, any of them would be willing to help you find your place on the baja team.
