My nephew John Daly was USA-3 on the Skeleton Bobsled Team ... finished 17th overall at Whistler. He constantly works on aero relating to shoulder and head position.

I believe Park City Utah is the headquarters for the team. I know the driver lives there. It is less than 3 hours from the salt. It sure would be great if they could bring a sled over for a day during Speed Week. Maybe sell some t shirts? On tv they didn't show much of the bottom of the sleds; just a quick shot or two as they were flipping them right side up to run. It looked like they had some very interesting "aero" on the bottom!

That would be great......I would love to see one the Bodine Sleds.  These guys did one heck of a job.  Rich
