Summary:

For the third consecutive year the University of Nebraska – Lincoln Mini Baja Team competed in the Mini Baja West Competition which was held in Provo UT.  Unlike 2002, the UNL SAE team built only one vehicle for competition, but will added another competition to their world tour with that being the Mini Baja Midwest Competition which was held in Dayton, OH. 

The hard work and late nights paid off as the UNL Mini Baja team placed 13th at the West competition and 20th at the Midwest competition!
