In preparation for this summer's Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) student chapter racing competitions, Maryland’s formula and baja vehicle racing teams invited sponsors and supporters to an open house and vehicle presentation on Friday, April 27 in the Kim Engineering Building. The Terps Racing baja vehicle team plans to take on the Baja SAE course at the Rochester Institute of Technology on June 7-10. Then two formula vehicle teams will compete in the Formula SAE® West races at the California Speedway in Fontana, CA on June 13-16. Terps Racing offers Maryland undergraduate students the opportunity to design, build and race their own baja all-terrain and formula racing vehicles in various regional and national competitions. Terps racing invites students of any major to participate, although most are engineering students. Read more about the Terps Racing teams in an April 27, 2007 article of The Diamondback Online.
