Milka Duno Invited to Attend 3rd Annual "Women in the Winner's Circle" Event



2005.Winning female racer Milka Duno will
participate in the 3rd annual "Women in the Winner's Circle" luncheon in
Indianapolis this Thursday. August 4, 2005. The luncheon will be held from
11:00am to 2:00pm in the Schwitzer Student Center at the University of
Indianapolis.

Hosted by the Lyn St. James Foundation, the "Women in the Winner's Circle"
program was established in 2003 to celebrate the achievements of women in
motorsports and to help pave the way for the sports' future growth. The
foundation and its Driver Development Program provide leadership, vision,
resources and financial support in order to create an open environment for
women's growth in automotive fields.

This year's program features a reception, a silent auction and a luncheon
with over 30 female drivers, as well as women who work in technical fields
of motorsports. All net proceeds from the luncheon will benefit the Lyn St.
James Foundation, a 501(C) 3 not-for-profit organization. St. James was the
first female driver to earn the Indianapolis 500 "Rookie of the Year" award.

She was also named as one of the Top 100 Women Athletes of the Century by
Sports Illustrated for Women.

"I'm honored to be invited to attend and participate," commented Duno.
"Women have made tremendous advances and have earned many achievements in
motorsports. This event serves to highlight these contributions and to
promote women in this sport and this industry. It is also an outstanding
forum to discuss and explore the challenges and opportunities that women
face in motorsports. I'm very excited and proud to be involved."

Duno competes with CITGO sponsorship and Pontiac power in the #2 CITGO
Pontiac Crawford Daytona Prototype in the 2005 Rolex Sports Car Series. She
is the first woman in history to race in the Rolex Series' fastest class -
the Daytona Prototype. In 2004, her very first year in the Rolex Series,
Milka earned two wins, one second-place finish and one third-place finish.
She also finished fifth in the Driver Point Standings - out of a field of 80

male drivers. When Milka won her first race of 2004 at the Grand Prix of
Miami she became the first woman in history to win overall a major
international sportscar race in North America.

Duno recently scored her 3rd Rolex Sports Car Series win at Le Circuit
Mont-Tremblant in Canada and a top-five finish at the Brumos Porsche 250 at
Daytona International Speedway. She is currently 7th in the Driver Point
Standings in the series.
The luncheon is open to the public and a limited number of tickets may still

be available. Information on how to purchase tickets is available by calling

Hi Lomberto

After reading a good blog I tend to analyze it to see what the person behind it might be like.

I've been in the goal setting business a while now and just like most people with experience in different areas of expertise, I can tell a lot about a person just by speaking to them or reading something they've written.

You haven't wrtten any goals on paper for awhile have you? And if you have I'll bet you haven't looked at them for a long time. Right?

Goal setting is hard work, and harder still if you don't have short range goals, mid range goals and long range goals.

I think you'll agree that few people really take the time to set goals of any kind.

When is the last time you really thought about setting some real goals, or are you like the vast majority of people who just "hope for the best"?

You already know successful people aren't "just lucky", they know how to set effective goals and reach them.

I was like that once, you might be also.

How about changing all that.

Come on over to goals+ and learn exactly how to set effective goals, act on them and be the real you.

There's a ton of FREE information and who knows, this little insert in your blog might well change your life!

Happy New Year!
