Artifact Overview
Lyn St. James, 1992 Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year, used her success to inspire and train other female race car drivers, like those who autographed this shirt. In 1999, she and Don Panoz organized the Women's Global GT, and all-women racing series. Though the series lasted only two seasons, it provided a platform for female racers to begin or continue their racing careers.
