American Bobsled Club was organized by Randall Parker and Travis Bell in 1999 for the purpose of developing Olympic Bobsled Runners and Olympic Skeleton Sleds and Runners for the United States Olympic Team and the 2002 Winter Olympics. The Bobsled Runners developed and tested by American Bobsled Club Athletes were used by the USA2 Women's Bobsled Team and USA1 Men's 2 Man Bobsled Team and USA2 Men's 4-Man Bobsled Team. They achieved a Gold Medal for the Women's Team and a Bronze Medal for the Men's 4-Man Team. The USA Skeleton Men and Women's Gold Medals were both won on American Bobsled Club developed runners. Tristan Gale won her Olympic Gold Medal using an American Bobsled Club developed Skeleton Sled and OG Swallow Runners. Jimmy Shea also used the OG Swallow Runners for his Olympic Gold Medal win. Jimmy Shea's sled was a Swiss design modified by Randall Parker of the American Bobsled Club the night before his Olympic Race. The United States Bobsled and Skeleton Federation continues to use American Bobsled Club developed technology through the Pyongchang Winter Olympics held in 2017.
