Motor Sports Enterprise Visits Industry Sponsor

 

The Oshkosh Corp. hosted students from the Advanced Motor Sports (AMS) Enterprise Baja team June 7, 2012 at corporate headquarters in Oshkosh, Wis. The firm is one of the AMS Enterprise's corporate sponsors.

Tech students displayed their Baja car and AMS trailer, and Oshkosh representatives showed them some of the corporation's latest military vehicles. "You show us your buggy, and we will show you some of our buggies," said Tom Lyga, who does college relations for the company. Lyga arranged the visit to increase interaction between Michigan Tech AMS student team members, Oshkosh employees and Tech alumni.

The Baja team stopped at Oshkosh on their way to a Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) competition in Burlington, Wis. It is the last of three national Baja SAE events held this year.

AMS is a consortium of five automotive competition Enterprises: Blizzard Baja, Clean Snowmobile, EcoCAR, Formula SAE and Supermileage Systems.
