The MCC Mini-Baja team began to emerge in the fall of 1997, led by Professor John Wadach.  Joining him as team advisors were Professor David Leach and Patrick Bolton as leaders in fabrication and design.  By the summer or 1998, our vehicles rolling chassis and promotional packet was displayed at the bi-annual RTMA tooling show.  But our completed vehicle was not ready to be unveiled to MCC administration, team sponsors and the world until May of 2000.

Shortly following our vehicles unveiling, we were finally ready to take part in our first national competition.  In June of 2000, the MCC Mini-Baja team attended the Midwest competition in Milwaukee Wis. and placed 60th out of 109.  Partially due to an exceptionally designed front-end suspension and steering, the vehicle placed an astounding 3rd place in maneuverability.  Our performances since have proven us worthy competitors.  MCC Mini-Baja generally out performs other jr. colleges and a majority of four year schools as well.
