Zips Baja Off-Road Racing

Manufacturing season is officially in the books!

We could not have done it alone We want to say thank you to WARDJet for cutting our aluminum components, SlewPro for helping us with gears and splined shafts, and Bill for all the inserts and CNC work that brought our parts to life. We could not have done any of this without your contributions!

And of course, shoutout to every single team member who put in the hours in the shop, this car is a result of all your hard work. May this car be faster and better than ever!

Now that manufacturing is wrapped up… it’s time to make it look pretty!
Next stop: powder coat and paint. Stay tuned for this years car reveal!

Happy International Women’s Day!

Our team wouldn’t be what it is without the incredible women who support, lead, build, and inspire us every day. From our dedicated members to our amazing sponsors—and even our favorite mascot, Zippy—women play a huge role in everything we do.

Thank you for helping drive our team forward and for being such an important part of our journey. Today we celebrate you!

Wondering where Zips Baja is headed this season? Buckle up — here’s our competition lineup! So excited to stay in Ohio for one competition! 🏁

Zips Baja’s subsystems wanted to say that they hoped you had a Happy Valentine’s Day! 💙💛🦘

As we close out our subsystem spotlight series, we’re highlighting the team that helps tell our Baja SAE story. Our Outreach team builds the relationships that keep our program moving — connecting with sponsors, engaging the community, and creating opportunities that allow us to design, build, and compete.

We’re incredibly grateful for all of our managers and designers whose hard work makes this team what it is. It takes every subsystem, every late night, and every role to get a car to competition. Thank you to everyone who makes Baja possible 🤍🏁
