| U.S. Bobsledders Get Feel of (Wind) Tunnel Vision |
| By Joe Marusak www.charlotteobserver.com Posted: Thursday, Jul. 16, 2009 MOORESVILLE Think Olympic bobsledding, and Lake Placid, N.Y., or the mountains of Italy, Switzerland and Austria might come to mind. But Mooresville?  Using a stream of smoke, designer Bob Cuneo (standing) gets an idea how bobsled driver Steven Holcomb's helmet and head position affect the performance of the two-man sled. The town known as Race City USA for its many motorsports shops was the place to be Wednesday for America's top men and women bobsledders. They came to gain an edge on the competition, six months before the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, B.C. The four men and two women put on suits and helmets and got into their bobsleds at A2 Wind Tunnel off Mazeppa Road. Gigantic electric fans pulled air at up to 85mph to simulate racing speeds and study how changes in the way the competitors positioned themselves could improve performance. |

"We now have 28 sleds in our Fleet and we have a need to be transporting sleds from point A to point B. The Silverados really assist our efforts," says Bodine. "As a not for profit, we also appreciate that the Silverado gets the best V8 fuel economy of any full size pick up truck.

| Bo-Dyn Bobsled fleet returns to Chassis Dynamics, New sled crates needed |
Before the 2007-08 season the Bo-Dyn Bobsled fleet driven by the USA Team was totally re-furbished. “The sleds held up pretty well up until the World Championships where 7 of the 9 sleds entered by the USA crashed in practice of racing conditions” said Bo-Dyn sled builder and engineer Bob Cuneo. “The athletes really took care of the sleds with pride this season and when the fleet ended up at Chasis Dynamics in early April I was impressed.” The sleds were shipped by JRC Trucking who has worked with the Bo-Dyn project for many years. Bo-Dyn Bobsled founder Geoff Bodine also commented, “One of our real needs are NEW sled crates like these (see above picture) that ship the sleds around the world. We had great help in getting them done pretty inexpensively through donations 10 years ago but the fleet has been refurbished and we have new sleds so we need new crates to protect them when we ship them around the globe."

| HARRY HURT III, Writer for the NY Times Describes a Wild Ride |
HARRY HURT III writes: 
"THE last thing I saw before plunging down the bobsled track at the Olympic Sports Complex outside Lake Placid, N.Y., was an eerie orange light. I shivered in a wind chill of minus 17 degrees that penetrated all the way from my crash helmet to my long johns. I realized that the orange light was the sunset reflecting off the summit of Whiteface Mountain a dozen or so miles to the north. But I had no idea whether it foreboded the thrill of a lifetime or imminent death."
