In its fourth and final spring competition, Rochester Institute of Technology’s mini-Baja team captured ninth and 14th places, among more than 130 teams, in the Midwest Mini Baja, June 3 to 6, in Jefferson and Lake Mills, Wis. RIT entered two cars in the contest.
In specific categories, RIT earned first place in an endurance heat and second place for acceleration. Competition was held at Jefferson County Fairgrounds and Aztalan Motocross Track near Milwaukee.

RIT’s mini-Baja team is supported by the manufacturing and mechanical engineering technology/ packaging science department in the university’s College of Applied Science and Technology, the college of innovation. Mini-Baja competitions are sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers and Briggs & Stratton Corp.
