Wolfpack Motorsports, an engineering club from North Carolina State University, arrives on the Penn College campus and pauses for a group photo.

’Twas the night before Baja, when all across campus, teams rolled in, revving up happiness!

And so it begins! Penn College's main campus in Williamsport was hopping late Wednesday with pre-competition excitement.

Penn College’s Baja SAE team members were stoked to welcome the visitors and proud to show off their labs, including the Baja Room. Guests were impressed.

The 100+ teams competing in Baja SAE Williamsport will make their way to the competition site this morning. For more information, visit the event site.
