It would prove to be quite a challenge….Pilot a bobsled down the legendary downhill sleigh run at Lake Placid, NY, and face off against some of the best drivers in motorsports today. In a stunning upset of 5 time Bo-Dyn Bobsled champion Boris Said, Melanie Troxel proved she has the right stuff, and made clean, fast runs and clocked the winning time in this celebrity driver, charity-focused event.

NASCAR legened Geoffrey Bodine had a vision of providing American athletes with the very best “Made In The USA” equipment to compete in the international arena and win. Following this vision and working closely with Geoffrey over the years, the Bo-Dyn Project has created a passion within all of us to make this program work. With the financial support of some great companies and contributions from people like you we are able to provide the funding for the design, testing and manufacturing of the Bo-Dyn Bobsleds, simply the best in the world!

The USA Team just won its first Gold Medal at the World Bobsled Championships in 50 years in a brand new Bo-Dyn sled. “I’m so proud of our athletes for what they have accomplished this year” said Geoff Bodine. “It proves my original theory, if you give USA athletes the best that Americans can design they will perform at a high level. They did, and it makes all I have done worth it. Hopefully at this year’s Winter Olympics in Vancouver we can win our first Mens Gold since 1948.”
