Our crowdfunding campaign has ended, but you can still support Bruin Racing Baja by clicking here.
We design and build every part of the Baja car ourselves, including the gearbox, transmission, suspension, and frame, and every component on our vehicle is vital, no matter how small! Your gift of $10 will help us pay for the critical nuts and bolts that make it go.
Bruin Racing is proud to offer hands-on training programs in computer-aided design (CAD), machining, electronics, composite materials, and welding. These subjects are not typically taught at UCLA until a students third or fourth year, if at all, but through our training program, your gift of $20 will help cover material costs for one student to be able to immediately learn and contribute as early as their first few weeks on the team.
At Bruin Racing, we put safety first! We use a special six-point harness seatbelt to keep our drivers safe, in addition to other equipment, and have maintained an outstanding safety record throughout our team history. Your donation of $50 will help us ensure we have the best safety equipment, both in the shop and on our car.
Your gift of $100 will help us cover the (inevitably necessary) spare tire for our team trailer, as we drive it over 6,000 miles to Portland, OR and Oshkosh, WI!
Your gift of $250 will help us fund round-trip transportation to our competition in Oshkosh, Wisconsin for one member!
Your gift of $500 will help cover permits, food, transportation, and other supplies for a team Drive Day, where we bring several of our vehicles to the desert for testing! As a thank you, we will send you exclusive videos from the drive day and a framed team photograph. (Tax deductible donation of $490)
Your gift of $1,000 will help us completely fund our team food costs at either the Oregon or Wisconsin competition! As a thank you, we will send you a merchandise package and team photograph, as well as your name on our car as a -Special Thanks To!- (Tax deductible donation of $960)
