Every year we have worked hard to keep together and challenge ourselves and move towards one goal. And today when I see BAJA reaching new heights, I can confidently say, this is our success. Together with the support from sponsors, engineering colleges and the industry, we have completed a Decade of Dreaming, Daring and Driving. BAJA has given the young engineering talent an opportunity to showcase their skills, and it is heartening to see thousands of students coming together to celebrate this spirit of BAJA."
