Some props to my friend Amy Ruman

The first woman to win a Trans-Am race in the 45 year history of Trans-Am. And at the Petite Le Mans weekend to boot!

Really? I thought that Lynn St James had at least one win under her belt.

I woulda thought that too, but from her web page http://www.lynstjames.com/about/

Held 31 international and national closed circuit speed records over a 20-year period.

Raced twice (1989, 1991) in the biggest endurance race in the world; the 24 Hours of Le Mans (France)

Two wins in the 24 Hours of Daytona (winning GTO Team Driver in 1987 and 1990)

Raced (9 times) in the famous 12 Hours of Sebring Endurance race (winning GTO Team driver in 1990)

Raced in 53 SCCA Trans-Am races with 7 Top-5 finishes and raced in 62 IMSA GT races with 6 wins and 17 Top-5 and 37 Top-10 finishes

Only woman to win an IMSA GT race driving solo (1985 Watkins Glen)

Raced in the legendary Goodwood Motor Circuit Revival & Festival Meetings in England in 2001, 2005, 2006, and 2007

Very nice.

Congratulations Amy!

She's been right there on the brink for a while. She's won quite a few SCCA National events over the past few years as well. She decided not to go to the runoffs this year, to concentrate on the Road Atlanta race.
