Greetings to all fellow Baja'ers here, I'm Erick, a member of the 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 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!

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.

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! Edited by Blue Devil's Erick - Jul/04/2010 at 12:33pm |

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.
