2005 BUV Design
Competition
Many spectators preferred the
Endurance Test and the Acceleration test
because all the vehicles compete at
once. For most of
the courses, the vehicles were divided into three
groups for simultaneous events. Above, a quick
pit-stop keeps the Tri-state team going.

The high school shop instructors see the competition
as a great way to teach the students automotive
technology. Students from United Church of Christ Youth
Group (Clay City, IN) won 2nd place in the high
school division. They will send their BUV
to a missionary through New Life International (a
water purification ministry). They sent
last years BUV to Living Water International, a
Christian well-drilling ministry.
Many thanks go out to all the spectators and
volunteers that helped organize the competition.
A very special thanks to the students whose time and
effort helped make this years competition a complete
success. Their involvement provided spectators
with many inspiring examples of ingenuity motivated
by the heart’s desire to help.
First tilt-bed BUV on the right thanks to Elton
Keller.
