To our Anteater Baja Racing community, 

Thank you so much for generously supporting our team. With your help, we are grateful to have raised $6,390 through our fall 2025 ZotFunder campaign! Your contribution directly supports our ability to bring our racecar, Corsair, and our team of 37 undergraduate students to the upcoming Baja SAE 2026 competition in Washougal, Washington, from May 7-10. 

Your donations arrived at a critical phase for our team as we’ve begun manufacturing and planning competition logistics. Funds raised through ZotFunder directly support our $1,850 competition registration fee and $2,900 in transportation costs. Additionally, we are allocating $1,000 of the funds to select higher-quality materials for key components such as our custom modular uprights, rack and pinion, CV axles, driveshaft and protective guards that enhance both driver safety and comfort. As manufacturing ramps up, we will use the remainder of funds raised to purchase essential replacement supplies, including angle grinding discs and welding gas. 

Your donations have truly made a meaningful impact on our team and our ability to compete. 

We would love to stay connected with you and share our progress as we gear up for competition over the next four months. If you are interested in coordinating a lab tour, meeting or event with our team, please feel free to reach out to us at baja.anteaterracing@gmail.com. We would be honored to thank you in person! 

We are deeply grateful for your support and belief in our team as we continue to grow and proudly represent Anteaters in collegiate racing. 

With sincere gratitude, 

Anteater Baja Racing

Only 30 days left before the close of our campaign! 

Through the generosity of our community, we have raised over $3,000 towards the building of our 2026 race car, Corsair. Since launching our ZotFunder page in October, we’ve received the exciting news that we have been officially accepted to compete in the 2026 Baja SAE Oregon competition! Your donations will directly support our journey there - funding raw materials, hardware, sensors, and machining services for critical parts that enable us to push forward several key modifications to optimize Corsair. 

Throughout the past few weeks, our Suspension, Steering, and Brakes teams have been working hard refining component designs and improving durability, our Powertrain team has spent long nights increasing power and torque transfer through optimizing the transfer case and driveline, our Chassis team has been conducting vibration testing along with hosting welding and angle-grinding workshops, and our Testing team has been spending weekends putting the car to the test.

As we approach Giving Tuesday, we ask you to please consider sharing our ZotFunder campaign with your network to help us reach even more supporters! 

Your donations fuel our mission to continue growing as engineers, as a team, and as representatives of Anteaters in collegiate racing. We are deeply grateful for your support!
