The Gene Haas Foundation has always had a huge impact on Clarkson Baja. We use Haas CNCs to create our parts, they have been one of our longest partnerships, and they have set up a scholarship fund, to encourage students to pursue CNC machining.

This year, one of our members Keith Cronin received this scholarship. He spent hours creating parts for our team on Haas machines, and truly earned this award. Congratulations Keith!

Thank you so much for your continued sponsorship Gene Haas Foundation !

Right before BAJA SAE NY, we hosted an alumni event in Rochester NY which Lite Coms generously hosted for us!

Thank you Lite Coms for everything you do to help us succeed, we are very grateful for our continued partnership.

“You wanna know the forecast? A hundred percent chance of THUNDER! KA-CHICK-A!!!” -Chick Hicks, 2006

Day 1: Our car waited for engine check. Chick Hicks definitely brought the thunder because the site had to shut down early due to an extreme weather alert.

Day 2: passed engine check, tech, egress, and brake check all in one day. We had a lot of fun running all over the site to accomplish this!

Chick Hicks, our ‘26 season car, was the result of countless hours of designing, machining, and assembly. We could not be more proud of the work we’ve done, and cannot wait to see it compete at Baja SAE Rochester this summer!

Ka-chicka!

Our 2026 car is finally complete! Inspired by Chick Hicks from the movie Cars, this vehicle will be raced for the first time at Baja SAE New York in June. We would like to thank everyone on and off our team who assisted in creating this, our sponsors, and the Clarkson University shop staff for all of their help creating this.

While it would be nice to just tap some stock on the mill and have a finished product, machining parts for the Baja vehicle takes a little more time then that…

Even during finals, the team is still working in the shop! The car is getting assembled this weekend, so watch this page...
