What Mini Baja is

Mini Baja entails the designing and building of an original vehicle, based on a stock, 10 horsepower engine provided by Briggs and Stratton. The vehicle needs to be capable of traversing off-road terrain and standing water up to two feet deep. It will be a single-seater dune buggy type car no wider than 60 inches (unrestricted in length). The vehicle is judged based on the following categories: design, cost, speed, traction, land maneuverability, water maneuverability, and endurance.

Society of Engineering Alumni

Aside from being a supporter of JHU Mini-Baja since the beginning, the SEA is an excellent networking and information resource for Hopkins engineers.

CV Restoration

The CV Man himself has been tremendously helpful in getting our car set up with the right stuff for our drivetrain. Based in Maryland, he has extensive resources and good prices where CVs are concerned.

Society of Automotive Engineers

SAE is responsible for the collegiate design series, including Mini Baja, Formula SAE and others.

JHU Mechanical Engineering
