JACKSON, Tenn. — A unique vehicle rolled up to Motor Mania in Jackson Saturday, built by engineering students at UT Martin. The Society of Automotive Engineers competes each year against schools across the country to have the best Baja vehicle. The gas powered engine weighs in at about 400 pounds and clocks up to 31 mph. “We started in August with nothing but a blank computer screen, and we went from blank computer screens to raw materials, to our version of the mini-baja,” engineering student Steve Breazeale said. The team is set to compete in April against more than 100 colleges and universities across the United States.
