Page 4 of 47 Lyn St. James Papers, 1980-2010 Accession 2011.264 BIOGRAPHICAL/HISTORICAL NOTE Born Evelyn Cornwall, March 13, 1947, in Willoughby, Ohio, Lyn St. James graduated from the Andrews School for Girls and the St. Louis Institute of Music and headed down a traditional path for young women of the 1960s: becoming a secretary and piano teacher. In 1973, however, Lyn St. James decided to pursue a lifelong passion for cars and speed and began racing at regional amateur sports car events in Florida. In 1976 and 1977, she was the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Florida Regional Champion. St. James turned pro in 1979 and between 1981 and 1991 was sponsored by Ford Motor Company. Lyn St. James traveled across the country visiting Ford dealerships and speaking on behalf of Ford Motor Company and Ford Racing. After Ford pulled its sponsorship in 1991, Lyn pursued sponsors for the 1992 Indy season, finally partnering with retailer JC Penney and earning the 1992 Indianapolis Rookie of the Year award driving to an 11th place finish in her first Indianapolis 500 race. Over the next decade, Lyn St. James established herself as one of the premier drivers in professional racing, with seven consecutive starts at Indianapolis, world speed records and GTO class victories in the grueling endurance races at Le Mans, Sebring and Daytona. After retiring from driving, Lyn St. James turned her talents, drive and ambition to promoting women in sports, especially women in professional racing. In 1994, she founded the Women in the Winner’s Circle Foundation to assist in driver development and advocacy primarily for young women pursuing sports careers. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The Lyn St. James papers contain a variety of material documenting Lyn’s multi-faceted careers as a professional racing driver, public speaker and advocate for women’s sports and women in racing. Material includes significant amounts of newspaper and magazine clippings highlighting her career as a racecar driver, spokesperson and advocate for driver education and training. Of special interest is Lyn’s work as a mentor for young women entering professional racing as well as an advocate for women’s sports in general.

Not content to stay stagnate, our Club Racing program continues to evolve. In 2011, we began the BFGoodrich Tires SCCA Super Tour program. With the help of our partner, BFGoodrich Tires, the series expanded to nine events for 2012, and included one special event in each division. These race weekends featured elements that aren’t always available at National Races, adding to the competitors’ experi- ence. We also unveiled the Majors program in the middle part of the coun- try this season, giving racers in the Rocky Mountain, Midwest and Southwest Divisions an opportunity to run for a larger championship without having to travel the country.

  • Amelia Island Concours D'elegance
    One more for the bucket list: Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance It was Sunday at 10:30 AM, and I had missed my chance to enter the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance before the line into the show field grew to what looked like thousands of people. This was just the tip of the iceberg, as thousands more already had gained entrance. It was my first Amelia Island Concours, but no, I don’t regret being late to the show. Early that morning, I had walked down to the parking garage on a tip that there would be a couple cars worth photographing on their way out to the field: the Porsche Museum’s 909 Bergspyder and hallowed flat-16-powered 917 PA. In the garage, it was easy to admire their curves, their history, and their cylinder count — 24 between the two of them. Behind the chain-link fence guarding the RM Auction cars, the two Porsches sat. Not another car back there could sway my attention. At 8 AM, they were tugged from their slumber by a golf cart and pulled to the show field. A few Porsches parked on my side of the fence were able to peel me away from the museum-kept racecars for a few moments. The first was the No. 67 BF Goodrich 1985 962, which was driven by Amelia Island honoree Jochen Mass at the 1985 24 Hours of Daytona, where he placed third overall. PCA member Bob Russo, the man who restored it, was standing by its side and spoke to me about the build and how it was finished just the week before.

Dear SCCA Media Partners, Welcome to what is truly a new era of the Sports Car Club of America, as the SCCA National Champi- onship Runoffs heads west for the first time in 46 years to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. This event, made possible with the help of our friends and partners at Mazda and the Sports Car Rac- ing Association of the Monterey Peninsula (SCRAMP), was met with questions at its announcement that have been answered in a big way, with more than 530 drivers on the entry list and a rejunvenaton of the west coast program all season long. While we haven’t been west of the Rockies since River- side International Raceway in 1968, it’s hard to believe it will be that long before we return again. The question on everyone’s mind, even more than usual, is who is going to win? Are there hidden gems on the west coast who may be making their first Runoffs appearance that will make a name for themselves on the national stage, or will the traditional contenders learn a new track quickly enough to hold their titles? My guess is that we’ll see some of each.
