The Beginning
What is now known as Aztec Baja Racing started out in 2010 as a Senior Design project. While the club is now stationed on campus, the first car was built off campus while being completely funded by McMillin Racing who continues to be our biggest sponsor.
Early Years
In 2011 and 2012 new members began to build upon the original project, then in 2013 freshmen were actively recruited to join the club. In 2014 the club operations were moved into the school machine shop. In 2015 Aztec Baja was finally recognized as a club on campus, then in 2016, the club designed its first custom transaxle and steering rack.
Competition Success
In 2017 the club competed in all 3 races and took home first place in endurance in Peoria, Illinois. This was the first time that Aztec Baja got top 10! In 2018 Aztec Baja continued to perform well, earning 5th and 4th place overall in 2 of their 3 competitions. In 2019 they brought home an overall score of 3rd place, the best overall finish scored in club history.
