2008 Winter Baja
Overview:
Michigan Tech was one of the first schools to participate in the SAE
sanctioned Mini Baja with event founder and team advisor Dr. William
Shapton. Starting in 1981, Michigan Tech hosted the first ever Winter
Baja - an event designed to test the off road vehicle in winter's worst
conditions. Winter Baja was successful during the eighties, but as the
decade came to a close, so did Winter Baja. Reinvigorated with a new
advisor, the Michigan Tech Mini Baja team redesigned the event
format and hosted the rebirth of Winter Baja in 2001. Since that time,
the event has continued to grow, and is now one of the largest
Mini Baja events in the nation.
