Great news, We won 3rd place overall, 3rd place in Suspension, and 5th place in design at the Alabama race!!! We couldn’t have done it without everyone’s support! Thank you all SO much for everything. Check out more of the photos from the race on our Facebook and check out the article we were featured in for RIT’s University News. More updates coming your way soon!

Today I’m posting to show you all a recent project that I did. In one of my classes we were given a portrait assignment, so naturally I chose RIT Baja. So without further ado here some of the face of Baja. Also, just a quick update, all is well in the shop and as usual we’re hard at work as our first race in Alabama is three weeks away!

Just wanted to shout out a quick Thanks to Mark Haner from Kaiser Aluminum for donating this aluminum!

All is going well here at RIT Baja as we add up the hours in the shop and begin the sleepless nights before the first race. We’ve been gearing up for unveiling and the Alabama race. The frame’s coming together well, we’re working on our final fittings and welding. Also, driveline components are being finished and sent out to our awesome sponsors. Last but not least, the parts to manufacture suspension are coming together well.

Thanks for the bearings, Kaydon Bearing!

Hey everyone,

We just wanted to shout out a big thanks to Kaydon Bearing for donating some bearings! Also, Thank you to all of our sponsors who have been there for us all along and those who joined us this year! Your support, help and donations are all greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,

All of us at RIT Baja

Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday season! Race season is on it’s way and we’ve all been hard at work in the shop making parts for the new car every chance we get. The frame order is in place and is expected back soon so we can begin welding the frame. We’re all looking forward to putting the pieces together to build our newest car. Today (almost like every Saturday) everyone’s hard at work, whether it’s on a computer designing or at the machines. We’ll keep you updated as our first race approaches!

Until next time,

Andrea-Media

Hello everyone and Happy Thanksgiving! Last night we all got to together and celebrated our yearly Baja Thanksgiving! We worked hard all day and brought tons of delicious food to share. Along with stuffing our faces we had a lot of laughs, a whipped cream pie to the face (mine), and many more memories made. This is the time of year to give thanks for all we have. I’m sure I speak for everyone on the team when I say that I am thankful for Baja. And on behalf of the team, we are thankful for all of you who support us! I hope you all have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

Just wanted to update everyone on how well things are going inside and outside of the shop! We have a great new group of hard working, enthusiastic members on the team and we’ve had a very busy and full schedule this quarter. The track was once again revamped by adding a new set of whoops, adjusting the track entrance and adding to the tire crawl as well. We had a great time on October 8^th for our annual Sponsorship Day! Thank you to everyone who came, and thank you to those who sponsor and support us, everything you do for us is greatly appreciated. It was awesome to see the parents and companies that support us stop by and enjoy themselves! At the moment there’s a good-sized group hard at work on the machines. More can be found on our Facebook!

Thank you for your continued support everyone!
