Lyn St. James

St. James, who lives in Daytona Beach, Florida, wrote her second book, Ride of your Life, in 2001, upon retiring from Indy car racing. She is a frequent public speaker.

St. James offers a course for up-and-coming drivers that addresses business strategies and handling the media as much as it does driving skills. She says keeping its status non-profit makes it affordable for the most needy. She told the Elmira Star-Gazette that while she has retired from Indy, she has not retired from racing. "When drivers get old, they drive old cars," she said jokingly. She said she intends to drive in some endurance races in 2003. "We'll see what develops," she said.
