 Spring Carnival at CMU is April 19-21, 2018. This year marks the 50th reunion for 1968 graduates, the 50th year since Tiger Shark II set a new buggy course record, the 25th year since Bullet set the course record, the 10th year since Chimera set a buggy course record. We are also coming back from an exciting 2nd place finish last year, which was PiKA's fastest non-winning time, and the 5th fastest time we have ever had on the course. The PIKEs have been training hard this year to take back our trophy. We have several alumni contingents that will be well represented - initiates from the late 60s, the early 80s, and more. We will have at least 7 retired buggies on display. Carnival is the perfect reason to come back to campus to see your old friends and brothers again, watch PiKA buggy, and reminisce about good times old and new.
