Ed's graduating thesis for Mechanical Engineering Degree was "Vehicle Dynamics for the Racing Automobile". Dellis introduced his Fuzzy Dice paradigm as Chief Instructor at the Bobby Rahal TrackTime Driving Schools...this, after 2-1/2 years teaching at the Skip Barber Racing School in the mid-'80s.
While writing full time for SAE's Automotive Engineering magazine, Dellis went on to receive two U.S. Patents for PersonaGrip custom-molded grips that you see everywhere in factory assembly lines and on steering wheels used in IndyCar, F1/NASCAR/IMSA, et al.
www.SteeringWheelGuy.com is where you can get your wheel converted, and www.SteeringWheelTechnology.com is where you can see his video presentation given at worldwide steering wheel conferences.
Today, Dellis drives Chuck Beck's personal Lister Corvette #007 Lightweight racer: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057508387227
