In last week's podcast, we learned how Lyn St. James started with humble beginnings and progressed to the highest levels of professional auto racing. This week St. James will tell us about the Women in Motorsports North America program. From the interesting origin of WIMNA, to where they're going in the future. The bottom line is that this organization is designed to advance opportunities for women throughout the motorsports industry. Their big event of the year is the Women with Drive Summit III coming up on November 7-8, 2023 in Avondale, Arizona. For more information on the summit, go to: www.womenwithdrivesummit.com. For more information on the organization, go to: www.womeninmotorsportsna.com. Women have played a key role in motorsports for many years in a multitude of roles. St. James (as usual) is at the forefront of helping drive the return on investment for those she works with. Enjoy! NOTE: Lyn St. James will be part of a panel discussion at the Petersen Automotive Museum on May 24th, 2023 – “A Tribute to Paula Murphy.” There will be a screening of the Paula Murphy: Undaunted documentary, followed by the panel discussion and a silent auction. Paula Murphy also broke barriers for women in motorsports. She set multiple land speed records, was the first woman to drive a jet dragster and much more. This will be a great opportunity to see her and St. James in person and to hear some great stories.

Lyn St. James has raced for over 40 years. She was the 1992 Indy 500 Rookie of the Year and she's a seven-time Indy 500 driver. Her awards and recognitions are numerous and include her most recent 2022 inductee into the Automotive Hall of Fame. Lyn is a celebrity guest at this year's Chattanooga Motorcar Festival.

For many of us, our stories begin with amateur racing in SCCA, and our guest is no exception. Full time-secretary and piano teacher by day, by the age of 26 she moonlighted in racing behind the wheel of a Ford Pinto which doubled as her daily driver. Quickly moving up the ranks, she fought alongside names like Haywood, Stuck and Ribbs in Trans-Am and IMSA. She would take home titles in races like the 12 hours of Sebring, 24 hours of Rolex and 24 hours of the Nürburgring. In 1992, the mold wasn't just broken… it was shattered, and at the age of 45, proving that neither gender nor age matter in Motorsports - she entered the Indianapolis 500, earning the title rookie of the year. We are proud to welcome, the one and only, Lyn St. James to Break/Fix.

Auto Hall of Fame Inductee Lyn St. James

Recorded live in partnership with ProFormance Racing School and Park Place LTD, we got to enjoy a special evening with the legendary Lyn St. James! Lyn shares some amazing stories of her time behind the wheel and gives some great advice about stepping into motorsports and how to get more women involved in racing. Be sure to check out the YouTube video of this event as well, which we remastered after the recording to give you better audio and video. 

Lyn St. James' racing career began in the late 1970s and since then, she was unstoppable. She is known as the American Woman Racing Icon of the Century, and was the first woman to win Indianapolis 500 Rookie of The Year. Lyn was also the only woman to win an IMSA GT race driving solo ('85 Serengeti 500 at Watkins Glen International Raceway). Aside from being a race car driver, Lyn is also an author, businesswoman, speaker, coach, and mentor. Lyn founded the Women in the Winner's Circle Foundation in 1994 and also helped create the Women's Sports Foundation Project Podium Scholarship which aims to provide scholarship funds for women in auto racing.

It all started with a chat just prior to the start of the 2021 Indianapolis 500.  Racing legend Lyn St. James has been a longtime advocate for women in motorsports and had basically run out of gas while carrying the banner for equality.  But, when she witnessed first-hand what Beth Paretta was doing with her Paretta Autosport team at the Indy 500, she was refueled. She reached out to Paretta about forming an organization to help facilitate women's participation in the sport they both loved and Beth was on board 1000% as she told Lyn – You are not alone.  Together they contacted a team of about 40 women currently working as professionals in motorsport, along with some male allies, and a working group was formed in August 2021 to advance the idea to reality.  Today, The Women in Motorsports North America (WIMNA) organization is a community of professionals supporting opportunities for women across all disciplines of motorsport. By creating an inclusive, resourceful environment, the 501 (c)(3) charity looks to foster mentorship, advocacy, education, and growth to help ensure a successful and effective future for women in professional motorsports roles.  Beth and Lyn chat with host Amanda Busick about how their dream has become a reality and the opportunities and events that have already developed because of their new venture.   Two motorsport powerhouses in one podcast.  This is a good one.

Motorsports legend Lyn St. James, named one of Sports Illustrated's Top 100 Athletes of the 20th Century, is still blazing new trails. Just months away from her induction into the prestigious Automotive Hall of Fame, Lyn has paired up with race team owner Beth Paretta to launch Women in Motorsports North America. Lyn and I renewed our friendship, which began decades ago through Ford Motor Company, with this fascinating conversation about overcoming fear, her new leadership roles in NA and global motorsports governing bodies and her vision for growing women's involvement in auto racing. 

Today, Tes talks with Lyn St. James. Named one of the “Top 100 Female Athletes of the 20th Century” by Sports Illustrated, Lyn St. James has set 21 national and international speed records. As a seven-time competitor in the world's largest sporting event - the Indianapolis 500 - St. James earned Rookie of the Year Honors in 1992 and competed in 15 IndyCar races. She has competed all over the world, including twice at the 24 Hours of LeMans (1989, 91) with victories in the IMSA Series at Watkins Glen, Road America, Daytona, and Sebring. As recipient of the prestigious “Spirit of Ford” award, the “Guiding Woman in Sports Award”, the “Office Depot Visionary Sportswoman of the Year” and named on Automotive News list of the Top 100 Women in the Automotive Industry, she is an ideal speaker on women's issues, gender and diversity. She serves on the board of ACCUS (Automobile Competition Committee of the United States) and on their Diversity and Inclusion Task Force, and represents North America on the FIA Women in Motorsports Commission. Lyn is passionate about mentoring young people in racing as well as women in automotive fields. To learn more about Lyn St. James: www.lynstjames.com lsjracing@aol.com

Amanda explores what it means to Lyn to be celebrated, and how Lyn is wearing her Amelia Island Concours 2021 Honoree mantle. As always, Lyn steps up to demonstrate to her friends, her teammates, her mentees and to her efforts at the FIA/ACCUS what it means to demonstrate the Spirit of the American Woman.

Lyn St. James is named one of the “Top 100 Female Athletes of the Century” by Sports Illustrated.

Most recently Lyn was named to the Sebring Hall of Fame. Maybe you have read one of Lyn’s books, “An Incredible Journey”, “Oh By the Way”, or the “Car Owner’s Manual”?

Lyn St. James joins me to talk about her career, and more importantly, what she learned about driving that’ll make you a better driver – how precision is more important than bravery, understanding car set up leads to being more sensitive to the limit of the car, who the best drivers she ever raced against are, and why we have a need for speed. Lyn really doesn’t need any introduction, but the highlights are her being the 1992 Indy 500 Rookie of the Year, winning the Daytona 24-Hour race twice and Sebring 12-Hour race once, racing at Le Mans, in Trans-Am and the IMSA GTO series.

The Marshall Pruett Podcast looks back at the bizarre 1997 Indy 500 where the fledgling Indy Racing League reserved 25 grid spots for the field of 33 cars for IRL regulars, forced the rest to vie for the remaining eight positions, and then allowed two extra cars to join the race after being bumped from the field.
