30 Years of Cowboy Racing

Our Goal

With your help we can continue to grow the next chapter of Cowboy Racing. We are the smallest of the Zink Center competition teams, and we want to change this. Your donations would be used to better and develop the team, fund components for our cars, and most importantly help send our members to competition. This year we are traveling to Rochester, NY to compete in the Baja SAE competition with 125 other teams from across the nation and some from across the world. The Baja SAE competition is the pinnacle of the year for the team, we work on designing our competition car from the ground up, build and manufacture in house, test and prepare for June where we go head-to-head with the best of the best from across the world. Competition is comprised of a suspension and traction course, sled pull, hill climb, design review, , and the culmination of the whole thing is the 4-hour endurance race against all 125 teams. As our numbers grow, we want to bring as many new members as possible to experience competition, this is where we need your help. With your support we can allow many more members the chance to witness competition and see what all their hard work has been for. 

A Little About Cowboy Racing

Cowboy Racing is a part of Baja SAE which is an international collegiate design competition hosted by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). University students around the globe fund, design, and build an off-road prototype race vehicles that compete in a series of rigorous design, dynamic, and marketing challenges. Cowboy Racing is celebrating its 30th year as a team, with a legacy of hardworking students that dedicate countless hours to the competitions. The team plans on competing in several competitions across the nation during the upcoming school year. Our purpose is to expose students to design, manufacturing, planning, testing, and many other crucial aspects to becoming a well-rounded engineer, and what better way to accomplish this than building an entire mini-scale Baja car from the ground up. The team is completely comprised of students not only from the CEAT college but other majors as well, such as a psychology and air traffic control majors.

More Events with Cowboy Racing

We also host an annual event called Fall Frenzy, for local Baja SAE teams to come to our track and compete in a mock-competition to prepare for competition in the summer, which is open to the public and a great opportunity to get to know other teams and practice for competition.
