Lyn's Guiding Principle in Life: GO FOR IT!
When Lyn completed her first Indy 500 at the age of 45, she was just he
second woman in history to race in the event. Some doubted a woman could
keep up with male drivers, and Lyn struggled to get the sponsorship she needed
to race. She took eleventh place, and became the first woman to be
selected the Indy 500 Rookie of the Year.
Leading up to and following that high-profile event were years of struggles
and successes, wins and losses - from gaining corporate sponsorships to breaking
down gender prejudices. And through it all, Lyn has exhibited a unique
blend of creativity, charm and tenacity that is equal parts sophisticated
marketer, savvy talk show host and pure bull dog.

the fascinating details of the sport itself to reliving the intimacy of
harrowing crashes. And for anyone who's chased a dream of a lifetime
against all odds, it's the story of a kindred spirit and a handbook of
inspiration and how to.

guiding principle in life: Go for it!
