That their stepfather is incredibly well-versed in racing construction is good news for the Shuffs, because bobsleds are quite expensive. I'm really excited to be building the girls' sled. We've got a top-notch aerodynamics engineer doing the body. The Shuffs' engineer is Bruce Finwall. He and Fitzgerald have access to CNC machine shop, which is run by Fitzgerald and Ruthie Shuff, and the shop has the capability to make runners in mass quantities.
People maybe have one set or one extra set.
We'll have 20 of them. My stepdad and our aerodynamics engineer are working on building a new sled for us right now. The sled we took to Lake Placid was just our practicing sled. Their first sled was former bobsled champion Ron Horvath's bobsled that appeared in a 1998 UPS commercial. Someone that we knew from racing knew a guy in Youngstown who had that sled, and we hooked up with him and we bought the sled before we even went down a track.
