    For the past two years, Zavodsky has raced for Visteon in the Women's
Global GT Series (WGGTS), part of the larger American Le Mans series.  She won
the inaugural race of the WGGTS in April 1999 and went on to complete the
season with a 6th place ranking in the series point standings.  She climbed to
5th place in the 2000 season.  For 2001, Zavodsky competes in the redesigned
Panoz Pro GT and Panoz GT Series.  She is already off to a great start, having
placed 3rd at the Panoz GT race at Road Atlanta on Feb. 25.  Zavodsky's second
race of the 2001 racing season is on March 17, in Sebring, Florida.
    Zavodsky's accomplishments extend beyond the track, however, as she also
is seen as a role model.  She was one of five women selected to lead the
"Spirit Clinic" that was held in conjunction with the 2001 Super Bowl in Tampa
for 1,000 young women in grades 5-12.  And in recent years, she has been a
much sought after motivational speaker at both elementary and high schools.
Her message: stay in school, stay off drugs, set your goals and realize your
dreams.
