Using the new Bo-Dyn bobsled, the USA team posted the two fastest runs in final trials for this weekend’s competition. Geoff Bodine financed the construction of the first US made sleds in 30 years after seeing our team do dismally in outdated second-hand equipment in ’92. And, he got Bob Vaillancourt and Bob Cuneo at Chassis Dynamics in Oxford, CT to design them. In the mid ’80’s they worked with Geoff on the Bo-Dyn NASCAR Modified cars…the most successful of their day. Later, Brett and then Todd Bodine worked at Chassis as race car fabricators. The Bodines can’t be in Japan… they’ll be in Rockingham, but Geoff has a lot to be proud of as our guys and a NASCAR designed and built sled go for the gold at Nagano.(2-17-98), oh well they were able to get a 4th overall, watch for the Gold in 2002!
