Jeremy Taylor, a sophomore at Kansas State University at Salina, recently competed on a Baja team in the Baja West competition in Elkhorn, Wis.
This year's competition featured more than 140 other team from the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. Teams are given a standard Briggs and Stratton engine and then challenged to design and build an off-road vehicle that can undergo a variety of tests and off-road events.
In addition to actual driving competitions, teams also must demonstrate business savvy by developing and presenting a business and marketing plan to a panel of judges.
Teams also must generate financial support for their projects prior to the competition from the local community.
