Northwestern Baja SAE Racing
Me getting strapped in before driving at our 2017 winter competition.
Our two current cars, Knuckles (14) and Elbows (38), at the 2016 fall race. The 2017 car, Bongo, is on track to be completed in mid April.
As a member of Northwestern's Baja team - the Motorcats - I work to design, build, and race a single driver off-road vehicle. Every year we maintain and slightly improve the previous year's car, which we race at unofficial fall and winter competitions. We also design and build an entirely new car, which makes its debut at an official SAE competition in spring. My Baja projects include designing a new trailing arm and designing and manufacturing a steering system, both of which you can learn more about in this portfolio.
