Lynx Racing driver Sara Senske, one of the premier female open-wheel racers in the sport, will have an added advantage on track -- and in the truck -- during the Barber Dodge Pro Series support race at the Molson Indy Vancouver Sept 1-3rd, 2000.That advantage will take the form of fellow Lynx driver David Rutledge on the radio while she's on track, and at her side between sessions helping interpret computer data and working with her on car setup. Rutledge, a Vancouver native, is in his third year of CART Toyota Atlantic competition and, although the Atlantics will not compete at Vancouver this year (having been replaced by Indy Lights in tribute to Greg Moore), the technical aspects of how to set the car up and drive the 15-turn, 1.802-mile temporary road course are ingrained in his memory.

"I'll be flying under an experience eye this weekend," says Senske, who drives the #19 Lynx Racing Reynard 98E. "This is a real advantage for me because this is my first visit to the track as a driver and having David here provides me with both technical and psychological support. He's already racing for the Lynx Atlantic team, which is my goal, so I'll be listening closely to not only what he says but how he says it. This weekend is going to be intensely competitive and effective communication with those who can help you is critical to doing well."

The entire Lynx driving squad, including Senske, Rutledge and his Atlantic teammate Mike Conte, will be in action on the following weekend in the Grand Prix of Monterey at the fabled Laguna Seca Raceway on September 8 - 10. 2000 marks the 10th anniversary of Lynx Racing, one of the most unique organizations in auto racing today. Created and owned by two women, Peggy Haas and Jackie Doty, Lynx is both a championship-winning racing team and a uniquely successful driver development program that focuses on a driver's spiritual and psychological growth in addition to their on-track skills.
