A STUDENT-WARRIOR IN THE BATTLE OF LIME ROCK
Senske, one of the top female drivers in open-wheel racing today, drives
for Lynx Racing, the only championship-winning racing team/driver
development program in auto racing today owned by women, Peggy Haas and
Jackie Doty.
Senske has been racing since she was 7 years old, won her first race at
age 8, and in 1999, at age 20, she ran 20 races in both the Star Mazda
(open-wheel) and Women's Global GT (sports cars) series, completing every
lap of every race, scoring one win, one pole, three fastest race laps and
three podium finishes, as well as six top-5s and six top-10s.
Senske spent the past week at Indianapolis working with Lyn St. James on
her qualifying effort and generally learning the ropes of an event in which
she plans to compete in the next few years.
Lynx Racing alumni include CART FedEx drivers Patrick
Carpentier, Alex Barron and Memo Gidley. Being self-funded, the team chooses drivers on
merit rather than for their ability to bring money. The Lynx program
includes racecraft, car setup and data interpretation along with personal
growth via meditation and visualization techniques. |
