Raceday 2026 is right around the corner! Active BAA members will receive the 2026 Raceday Preview in their email soon! Please see our membership page<\/a> to check your status as an active member of the Buggy Alumni Association. If you need to renew your membership, please do send us a membership update request<\/a>, and we’ll be sure to get the Raceday Preview to you ASAP once its released. If keeping up with annual dues is a hassle, consider becoming a Golden Goose Lifetime Member, and your donation will help keep the buggy enthusiasm running for generations!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporting the Buggy Alumni Association is a great way to support the greater buggy community. We have teams of dedicated volunteers documenting the history of the sport, facilitating the raceday broadcast, hosting events for students, friends, family, and alumni year round, and connecting students with resources to help keep their team on the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The teams committee has a new revision of The Essential Build Book<\/a>. This is a major rework thanks to DG’s feedback while building their first buggy, Banta! This year, teams received financial support from the BAA to fund safety improvements, bringing older buggies up to modern safety standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From our history and website committees, we’ve published the earliest known Raceday video – the Finals of Raceday 1930<\/a>! We have updated our database for 1930 and added photos of each of the 8 buggies that competed that year to our gallery. Our plans to post more historical Racedays to YouTube continues. Those who attend Carnival this year will get a special sneak peek – If you’re back for your 35th Reunion (Class of ’91) or you were in CIA 50 years ago (1976), make sure to stop by Buggy Showcase (or find the BAA with a laptop) and you’ll get to watch your Raceday, in preparation for Raceday 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to expand our Buggy photo gallery, with over 41,000 photos and videos of buggy from the past 126 years now on our site. And the (daunting) task of tagging and captioning all of those photos for easy viewing reference presses on. We’ve continued to update our database with more race information from the 1980s-1990s, trying to make it as complete as possible (including rosters). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safe travels! Get hyped!<\/a> We’ll see you on the course!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
