Greetings to all fellow Baja'ers here, I'm Erick, a member of the University of Wisconsin - Stout SAE baja team.  I’m sure I talked to a couple of you this last week at the Wisconsin race.

 

As some of you may know, we host a fall invitational, usually during the second weekend in November. 

 

This is an open invitation to all baja teams to attend our event! 

 

In the past, we have held it at the Arkensaw Cycle Park; a 1.25+ mile moto-x track located about 1.5 hours east of Minneapolis/St. Paul and only 40 minutes off I-94.  We have had good turnouts between 20 and 25 cars most years.  We would like to improve it to 30+ cars this year.

 

This last season, we have considered changing several aspects of our event. 

 

For starters, we are considering moving the date of our event up.  For those teams interested in attending our event, please let me know ASAP what date(s) would work best for your team.

 

Another aspect of our event we are considering changing is the overall format.  For those of you familiar with our event, we hold it on a full bore moto-x track.  We are looking into the possibility of building our own track closer to school or using the 8 mile hare-scramble track the current facility has.

 

We are considering changing the time of our event.  In the past, we have held 2 1 hour 30 minute races with an hour or so break to fix cars.  We think we could make the event longer, like 6+ hours if we hold it on a less grueling track. 

 

If you are interesting in attending, would like to give your input, or would like more information, please email me at ... and I will get back to you ASAP.  We would love to have more teams attend this year and want to make it as fun as possible for everyone involved.

 
Now, a few pics from previous years!

If anyone has any contact information for Minnesota State University - Mankato, that would be great.

Man that pic of the 144 jumping is freakin awesome!  Probably one of the best looking baja cars I've seen.

Thanks.  That car was long before my baja time.  I think it is the 02-03 nationals car from my team.  It was painted to match a helmet we had.

Erick, you can contact me at:   jarederickson@rocketmail.com to get info to and from MSU-Mankato. I will be around during the first half of the school year working with the team giving some input to their car. Once they vote on team captains, I will get you their contact information and you can then keep in touch with them.

Yes, we will be having another even this year.  I believe it will be late October this year.  I will ask what date we have it planned for.  We have been shooting for October 23.

October 23, 2010 is the official date for Stout's Backwoods Baja.

I graduated this spring, so I am no longer actively involved but the person you can contact about the event is Matt L. and his email is lydeenm@my.uwstout.edu

He is planning the event at the moment and will have much more details then I will have. 

The racing will consist of 2 1.5 or 2 hour races, with an hour or so break to fix stuff.  It is a pretty relaxes atmosphere and we allow you to bring older cars.

New this year, tentatively, is a hillclimb, which, IMO, is a lot more fun then the high jump competitions we have held in the past.

Here is a pic of one of our cars doing the hillclimb, so it is possible to make it to the top!

Just wanted to say great job to UW Stout for putting on an awesome race. ONU will definitely be back.  I loved the short track, as it made for fast laps, kept the cars bunched together for a little "rubbing is racing" action, and kept things interesting with lap traffic.
