Hear from one of our new baja members on why he joined and what he’s most excited to learn this year on the team.
Josh is a junior in mechanical engineering who just transferred to U of I this year. He interned at Eaton over the summer and got to work with differentials and engine systems as well as other automotive parts. This sparked his interest in joining a car team and he chose Baja and the suspension sub-team because he loved the personality of our suspension lead, Aleks.
Josh has quickly become very involved in the club, attending shop day every Saturday and even joining us at Midnight Mayhem to watch the cars compete.
“I joined Baja because I so inspired by the passion of the members I talked to at quad day. Everybody loved being on the team and it made me want to be a part of it.”
What he’s most excited for this year? “I can’t wait to see the full car come together and see all the parts we’ve been designing come to life”
We’re so excited to have you as part of the team this year Josh and can’t wait to see what you do!
