The college will host the 2012 Baja SAE Auburn competition April 19-22 at the National Center for Asphalt Technology test site in neighboring Opelika. Competition events include a design report and evaluation, acceleration, suspension, maneuverability, a hill climb and an endurance race. Auburn hosted the event in 2009 and 2006. This year’s race will feature a new start house, designed by students in Auburn’s College of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture. Baja SAE is an engineering student design competition organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers. For information about becoming a race sponsor, contact Jim Killian at killijl@auburn.edu.
