2026 Baja Reservation Eligible Teams

2026 Baja Reservation Eligible Teams

SAE’s reservation-eligible list for the 2026 season. While these reservations will be indicated on the back end of our system, all eligible teams MUST still sign up for the Lottery to secure their reserved spot. If your team wishes to enter the lottery for an event that you are not reservation-eligible, your existing reservation will have no effect on your chances of securing that spot. This is only holding your spot, teams will still be responsible for completing your registration payment and meeting all required deadlines.

Note: Spots earned by teams who were top placing in multiple events in the 2025 season are restricted to choosing only one competition to apply their reservation to in 2026. The only exception to this rule are teams who are participating in the Mini Baja Mentor Pilot. Those teams will be awarded one (1) reservation spot for their participation. Teams that already have an existing top placement reservation will be awarded one (1) additional reservation for the 2026 season.

Example: If a team earned a top placement at Arizona 2025, they will be eligible for a reservation spot at one (1) 2026 competition of their choice. If a team earned a top placement reservation AND is a Mini Baja Mentor team, then they will get a reservation spot for two (2) competitions of their choice.
