It’s that time again…BAA committee members are stepping down, 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 main position open this spring is President, but we’re also looking for new people to join the [...]
Our 4th annual lead truck auction will draw to a close tonight at 9pm, so get your bids in early and often to secure your ride. We do have a “reserve bid” system if you want to set a maximum and let the computers do the work. We’ve raised a total of $471.38 so far (all [...]
This idea has been in the works for a while, but now it’s happening, and just in time. When we helped introduce Jumbotrons to the course in 2009, it was a fun experiment. Now it’s practically a necessity. Can you imagine not being able to see what was going on in the chute while you’re [...]
After two weeks off for spring break, we find ourselves right in the heat of things with just 4 weeks to go. Push practice started this week and has enjoyed absurdly comfortable March temperatures. Rolls are scheduled for all 8 remaining days before raceday, so lets hope the good weather continues unabated. So that’s how [...]
UPDATE: All reservations must be made by Friday March 23rd. Now you can’t say we never did anything nice for ya. After weeks of late-night, never-back-down, tooth-and-nail negotiation sessions, the Buggy Alumni Association is proud to announce the first ever members-only hotel discount. That’s right, we’ve secured a limited number of rooms at the luxurious [...]
We’ve mentioned the guys from Apex Buggy a couple of times in the rolls reports. They are a group of mostly freshmen, mostly living in a new dorm called “The Residence on 5th” or “The Rez” for short. Despite being on campus for only a few months, they’ve done an impressive amount of work towards [...]
After a rainout on Céilidh weekend, this past Sunday was designated as our official fantasy buggy showdown. 41 people entered our first ever fantasy buggy game to take their shot at the $250 “ticket to carnival” grand prize sponsored by NumberFire.com. Fringe and CIA timers helped out to collect times that could be shared publicly [...]
I know I don’t want to admit it, but the reality is that the end of summer is in sight, and the Buggy Alumni Association wants to be ready for another big year (our 4th!). After the buzz from raceday died down, we all took a healthy break from buggy madness, but a few things [...]
If you’ve been on cmubuggy in the last 5 days since our new site debuted (and over 2,000 of you have), you’ve undoubtedly checked out its biggest new feature: the video library. For the launch we had 264 videos capturing buggy from the 1950′s through raceday 2009. Thanks to our partners in this project over [...]
At 9AM this morning, bidding will commence in the 3rd annual Lead Truck Auction. Don’t show up fashionably late to the bidding this year as we’ve got only 36 hours (bidding closes at 9pm wednesday) to divvy up the rides because the heat selection was held later than it has been in recent years. For [...]
