In particular, we need volunteer Saturday and Sunday. 12 March 2016 For your sales presentations, please bring your PowerPoint Presentations on a flash drive, formatted for use in a Windows PC. Backup paper copies are a good idea, too. 23 February 2016 Hi Friends. Please don't ask the park questions about Baja SAE. They don't have answers for you. Direct your Baja SAE California related questions here: collegiatecompetitions@sae.org Unless you're asking about camping. Then you can talk to the park. Also we still need people to Volunteer! If you're in the area and want to help, hit the link. Thanks! 21 February 2016 Note of clarification: There is no camping permitted in the paddock. Camping is available elsewhere in the park, however. 19 January 2016 Happy New Year!

See details in the post below. 18 November 2015 Hotel and Venue information is now posted on the official website. Link at the top! 11 November 2015: 1) Hotel information has been posted on the Facebook event. If you haven't RSVP'd to the Facebook event, do it! Because it will probably be our best way of getting information out! 2) If you're a Baja grad local to the LA area and want to help organize, we still have some roles to fill! Please reach out if you'd like to help! bajasaeca@gmail.com I'll post updates here as they occur.

All,
The Organizing team could still use some more people. If you or somebody you know (Ask your friends!) live in the Southern California Area (or don't mind coming out for the week of competition Wednesday-Monday ...ish) would like to help us out, please reach out. You can email us here! We need people for Design Judging, leading the Sales Event, sales judges, a Hill Climb event captain, and will need many more for assorted other stuff. If you have questions, shoot us an email and we can answer them. Thanks!

Attention California Baja Teams:
Any Baja car that will be at the California event will be required to have a spark arrestor (Part# 790153) mounted on the exhaust.
These parts can be purchased from any Briggs and Stratton dealer. https://www.briggsandstratton.
This must be installed prior to arriving at the event and no Baja car engine can be started without the spark arrestor installed. Spark arrestors are required by all vehicles operating in California State Parks. |

Hi,
My son is on one of the teams coming to this event. I'd like to support his team and come over for the event. I've never been to a Baja competition and I'm wondering how the pits are configured. We drag race and have a fairly large rig that I'm considering bringing over with the team. Do you happen to know if we can basically camp or stay in our rig in the pits? I'm just not sure how it all works at these competition. When we race we get a pretty good sized pit and all of our stuff & us stays in the pits until the end of the event. Since there seems to be a lot of teams coming to this event, is pit space limited and do the teams only get a certain amount of space? Our rig is about 70' long and ideally I was hoping we could just pull in and stay in one spot without breaking it down but your layout may not work this way. Just hoping I could find some stuff out before we commit to take everything. I saw your post above, so is the "paddock" considered the pits? If I do come I can probably also volunteer for something if you still need people.

There is no camping in the entire event area during our event. We call it the paddock, at a drag race it would be the pit. There are camping spots available elsewhere in the Hungry Valley SVRA where you could park your rig and come over in a smaller vehicle.
If you'd like to volunteer, the volunteer sign up link is in the first post.

Teams:
For your sales presentations, please bring your Powerpoint Presentations on a flash drive, formatted for use in a Windows PC. It is, of course, also in your best interest to bring paper copies for the judges in the event of an IT failure.

is there any way I could get some help regarding installation of the spark arrestor to the exhaust system ? Does it get mounted using a bolt of do we have to weld it on to the exhaust outlet?. I have been searching a lot and could not find any since this is a new rule added.
thank you

Looks like you shove it in the end of the pipe and screw it down to the side with the bolt. Which brings up the questions: is it legal to tack weld it on? Will people be black flagged *when* they fall off?

It is as drvr5 said. Slip it on the exhaust, and then tighten down with the screw.
I've asked about tack welding it on.

Me: "Well, you can't. Too Bad!" Seriously though, we still need volunteers. Especially on Saturday and Sunday. Maybe you know some people. Maybe they know some people. Maybe you have some people coming to competition with you that, if we're being honest, aren't going to contribute. Sign 'em up! Food. Shirts. Volunteer. Thanks. Share this post! |

For those who are interested, event t-shirts are available here: https://teespring.com/bajasocal#pid=369&cid=6524&sid=front
Not as good as the exclusive volunteer shirts, but definitely the next best thing. If anyone has pictures/videos of the events, please share them.

Well, that's a wrap. Hope you all enjoyed the event. If there's anything you particularly liked or didn't like, please let us know. Either here, or in the post-event SAE Survey.
Thanks! See you again in April!

Here's the pictures I took over the weekend. Mostly Hill Climb, S&T, and Enduro. There should be at least a few of each team.

1007/1000 points for Michigan of Ann Arbor. That has to be the highest single competition point total ever for Baja SAE. Winning design finals (+15), second in endurance on lead lap (+1), and only missing ~8 points in all the other events combined. |
