Western Washington 47 Oregon TEAM NAME: Viking 44 TEAM MEMBERS: Jeremy Burger, Dennis Chao, Samuel P Dale, Lindsey DeLaney, Alexander B Freund, Seth T Hersch, Chris J Higbee, Chendar Lim, Erik Jon Nickerson, Karl E Rollin, Tasha Cecelia St.Clair, Drew M Thayer FACULTY ADVISOR: Steven M Fleishman In 1999, our team was formed by only a handful of students with a background in off-road racing. Without any form of experience, this team started humbly creating Viking 33, the first Baja car designed at the Vehicle Research Institute. With the help of the renowned Dr. Michael Seal, the faculty advisor at the time, our team was on its way to becoming one of the finest teams in Baja. Today, the team has improved in all aspects. Everything from suspension, chassis, craftsmanship, and fabrication has been dramatically improved. From 93rd place in 2000, this team has progressed to 13th place in 2004 with Viking 36, 11th place in 2006 with Viking 41, and 13th overall last year in Illinois with Viking 42. The vehicles produced by the WWU Baja team are constantly being improved with the hope that in the next competition, first place is achievable. wwusaebaja.com Wichita State 39 Alabama TEAM NAME: Shocker Racing 32 Wisconsin TEAM MEMBERS: Cameron Cox, Joseph Anthony Dvorak, Gary Friend, Phillip Jost, Joseph Allen Marshall, Kurt Mehrkens, Derek Jonathon Plowman, Joaquin David Viego, James Gross The 2009 race season has brought many changes to the WSU Baja Team. The first change is adding a ton of new members. These new members bring just that many more great ideas to the team. Starting out to design the car, the team took on the mind set of simple but strong, just about everything has been completely redesigned. Starting with the frame, everything has been made simpler, easier to build, and stronger. However this doesn t come free. There are always trade offs and weight is one of the biggest challenges as we go for this simple design. www.wichita.edu/baja All information was submitted by teams prior to February 23, 2009. page 9999
Wilkes 63 Oregon TEAM NAME: Wilkes Baja TEAM MEMBERS: Paul G Benulis The 2009 Wilkes Baja Team is made up of veteran seniors and a few new underclassmen. After building an entirely new car for 2008, the team has upgraded the drivetrain designs and optimized the suspension for better handling. The Wilkes Team will be making the long trip from Pennsylvania to Oregon for the Baja Oregon Competition. As always, the team would like to thank the Wilkes Engineering Department and advisor Mitch Adams for their support. www.wilkes.edu Wright State 71 Wisconsin TEAM NAME: WSU Raiders TEAM MEMBERS: Joshua David Deaton, Curtis John Emerick, Nicholas James Hankinson, David Alexander Loel, Michael Philip Sheridan FACULTY ADVISOR: Dr Russell A Hannen The Wright State Raiders have competed in eight previous Baja SAE competitions, most recently in 2007. The 2009 WSU Raiders team is a collaboration of five senior mechanical engineering students and two design projects. The 2009 vehicle is built around several key design elements; a lightweight frame maximizes the power-to-weight ratio of the vehicle, while a continuously variable transmission with chain and belt drive provides efficient power output through a simple and cost effective design. A fully independent suspension, utilizing front and rear A-arms, allows for excellent maneuverability and stability over demanding off-road terrain. The team would like to thank the Dayton Section of SAE for sponsoring this year s competition entry. 100 All information was submitted by teams prior to February 23, 2009. page 100
