Since being founded in 2003, our team has had great success with dedicated students in all competition areas, consistently placing at the top of the competitor pool in the past few years. With 8 competition wins and 27 top-five competition finishes since our first competition in 2006, we take pride in our craft in competition. We look forward to continuing our hard work in the coming years and giving students not just a winning experience but a Baja experience. With 3 competitions per year since 2014, students have put in countless hours of work on our vehicles. Nevertheless, we always have time for a blast from the past, so join us on this trip down memory lane, and enjoy our timeline.
