Road race ace Boris Said, whose late father, Bob, drove in the 1968 and 1972 Winter Olympics for the U.S. bobsled team, overcame a whipping wind and pelting rain on Saturday and won both races in the Chevrolet Geoff Bodine Bobsled Challenge on the Olympic track at Mount Van Hoevenberg. “It was awesome, perfect,” said Said, who also won the inaugural race of this unique event last year. “Two wins is a good way to start the year.” The Bobsled Challenge features race car drivers on ice. It’s an effort to raise funds to keep the U.S. men’s and women’s bobsled teams at the forefront of international racing.(Associated Press), see more at bodinebobsled.com(1-7-2007)
