Two exec committee positions are up for election, and we’re looking for candidates NOW. This is a call to action for serious volunteers who want to see the BAA through the next couple years of growth. The two positions open this spring are President and Vice President. (Treasurer and Secretary will be filled in the [...]
This post was written in advance and scheduled to get posted this morning automatically, because we don’t have time to be writing posts anymore … It’s RACEDAY!! Well, the purists would say raceday is tomorrow, but us BAA folks are at design comp passing out stickers and tshirts. Come on down and see us if [...]
Classes are out (which implies people had been going recently), tents and trucks are accumulating around campus, and cmubuggy.org has just switched on a bunch of new features. It must be raceday! Our front page has been updated with links to and descriptions of all of our raceday specific amenities, but I’ll recap some of [...]
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone that participated in the second annual lead truck auction this year. Thank you x2000 to the anonymous buggy lover that matched the first $2000 in bids. The BAA committee was betting mid-day on Monday whether or not we would be able to reach our $2,000 goal, and [...]
We sent out one of our favorite members-only perks last night around midnight: our Raceday Preview. This year’s 11-page publication covers each team in depth with pictures, stats, and narratives. If you haven’t followed along all year, we hope that it gets you up to speed for raceday. If you’re a regular cmubuggy.org junkie, we [...]

55 teams will contest this year’s men’s and women’s races, up 5 from last year. That’s what we like to see. Mission #3 of the buggy alumni association coming up spades. Even though we’re up 5 teams, there will be only 19 heats which is 6 fewer than last year. The trick is that since [...]
Today is the last Thursday we’ve got before the circus comes to town, so I’m going to cut straight to the heart of the matter with this, the final Thursday Poll of the year. Who do you think is going to go home with a trophy from this year’s races? When it comes to raceday [...]
It’s that exciting time of year in the buggy world for teams and alumni alike. We’ve just been contacted by an extremely generous anonymous donor that is pledging up to $2000 to the BAA as a matching gift to whatever we raise from the lead truck auction. This is by far the largest gift we’ve received to [...]
