Baja SAE Maryland 2025 Know Before You Go

In this special “Know Before You Go” edition, host Mike Sorg is joined by SAE Program Manager Damon Andring and Maryland event organizer Zach Love to give teams an essential rundown ahead of Baja SAE Maryland 2025. The episode covers everything students need to know to be ready for the week, including: • Crucial Documents: Be sure to bring your Fast Track roster and latest tech inspection sheets, fully completed and signed. • Site Expectations: Respect all volunteers, follow safety rules (no alcohol, weapons, or open-toed shoes), and make use of the Baja SAE app for real-time updates. • Weather & Safety: Expect hot, humid weather with potential rain over the weekend. Hydration, sun protection, and storm preparation are emphasized. • Logistics & Arrival: No early arrivals before 6 a.m. due to local restrictions. Engine check numbers are randomized, so there’s no advantage to arriving early. • Site Info: The Maryland track features hilly terrain and wide visibility for spectators. It’s a 20–30 minute drive to the nearest town, so plan food and supply runs accordingly. • Event Highlights: Thursday evening will feature a Women in Mobility panel, promoting inclusion and conversation within the mobility industry. Zach also previews dynamic events and endurance, highlighting an exciting motocross-style track with optional route strategies for drivers. 🎧 Call to Action Make sure you’re subscribed to Beyond the Competition on your favorite podcast app, and follow SAE University Programs on YouTube for updates, highlights, and special episodes like this.
