Check out the 3 tracks I will be navigating and racing on during the 2010-2011 Bobsled Season.  (Click links below)

Lake Placid, NY

Park City, UT

Calgary, Canada

Each track is unique with different challenges pilots must circum to.  Lake Placid has a lot of tricky back to back curves, although it isn't the fastest in the world it is very long and technical.  Park City you can hit mid-high 80mph for the 4man teams, this being a short track, a fast start and smooth first 4 corners is extremely important to carry velocity and speed through the finish.  Although this track is not necessarily the most difficult to navigate and make it down successfully it is very difficult to be fast.  Calgary is the famous track for the Cool Runnings Jamaican Bobsled Team deput to the bobsled world and Winter Olympic Games.  This track has a kriezel, a full 360 degree turn with multiple pressures to control.  This sled having the less speed of the three I will be racing one, I will have the least experience with.  I will let you know how it is in a little over a week   :-)
