It is a known fact that anyone and everyone with a computer and an internet connection can start their own home business. So it is not surprising that everyday, thousands of people search for home business opportunities on the internet. If you do a search on “home business” or “work at home” on Google, you will get thousands or even millions of search results. Now, you would be thinking: ‘Okay, there are a lot of choices out there’. Right? Wrong! Examine each opportunity carefully and you will discover that most of them are scam websites that no one in their right sense would invest their money in. More often than not, when you search for a home business opportunity, there is a host of scam websites which are bound to come up at the top position of the search results.

Now you might be thinking whether any legitimate business opportunity really exists. Of course, there are a lot of legitimate business companies that I work for which pay me handsomely every month. But the problem is legitimate home business opportunities are extremely difficult to find. These legitimate home businesses mostly don’t come up at the top of the search results in Google; on the contrary, they remain buried and repressed and very difficult to find. They are like hidden goldmines: difficult to find, but once you find them, your life will change forever.

Why do these legitimate opportunities don’t come up at the top of the search results? Because these legitimate business companies lay down strict rules about what its retailers and affiliates can claim about the company, its products and income potential. They do this because it helps to maintain the company’s credibility.

However, all hope is not lost yet. In this article, we will discuss about the 5 guidelines you can follow to find a legitimate business opportunity.

Firstly, when you choose to work for a certain business opportunity, do a little market research to find out whether the opportunity is already being marketed well by thousands before you. Has the opportunity reached a saturation point? If so, you should not choose this opportunity as there is too much competition in that niche and as a newbie, you might fail to make any money on something that thousands others are promoting just like you. If you still want to go ahead on this, good luck to you!

Secondly, do the business and the individuals presenting it to you have any sort of online credibility? Don’t be fooled by a lot of testimonials, good sales letter and lots of promises. If they are just pitching to you the hope of becoming rich someday, and not offering you an immediate solution to your problem, then you need to keep looking.

Thirdly, does the company or business opportunity you are about to join sell any real product or just an idea? Remember, it is much easier to sell a product which will have an immediate impact on an individual’s life, health, financial position, etc. Selling an idea of becoming rich at some point of time is not the right thing to sell.

Fourthly, you need to see whether people currently in the business opportunity are making any real money. This is a very important step, and again, don’t be fooled by screenshots of Paypal or Clickbank paychecks, with all the real data stripped out and doctored with Photoshop. Ask for real documentary proof. If they fail to give any real income proof to you, then you already know that the business is not likely to be a legitimate one. Keep looking.

Fifthly, if you are just starting your home business, you need to see whether the company you have decided to work for provides its affiliates initial and ongoing training? Because without proper training, most people are likely to fail in online business. What kind of support do they provide to their affiliates? Keep looking for these things before selecting a business opportunity. Most legitimate business companies will offer ongoing support to its affiliates.

Now you know how to find legitimate business opportunities. If you are still unable to find a suitable business opportunity for yourself, we can make your task easier. If you don’t know where and how you can find legitimate and lucrative home business opportunities, then simply visit our website.

Audi R8 has made a spectacular debut at the Mondial de l’Automobile in Paris last 2006. The super ultra-high performance Audi R8 combines tradition of the best classic sports car with futuristic construction, suspension technologies, and transmission supported by the strong reassurance of the Quattro four-wheel drive system.

Mounted longitudinally directly behind the cockpit of its comparatively lightweight 1,560 kilogram aluminum bodied Audi sports car is a powerful V8 engine. Spinning freely to its 8,250 rpm limit, the Audi R8 can sprint to 62 mph in a matter of 4.6 seconds and can reach a top speed of 187 mph which is extraordinary for a road-going Audi.

Sport cars enthusiasts may choose a six-speed manual transmission to channel the torque to the four driven wheels however the racing inspired “R tronic ” sequential shift gearbox with joystick and paddle control which uses shift by wire technology will surely entice more driving purists since it provide an unmatched rapid gear changes.

The Audi R8 has a near perfect 44 percent front/56 percent rear weight distribution for optimum handling balance and this was made possible through the efforts of Audi engineers who have device a method that involves the mounting of the powerful eight-cylinder unit as close as possible to the centre of the R8. A dry sump engine lubrication which was another first in the R8 also enabled the V8 to be mounted as close to the road as possible and lower the car’s centre of gravity.

The front and rear double wishbone suspension provides the needed agility of the R8 and can be controlled using a more traditional spring-and-damper set-up giving which results to a remarkably composed and comfortable ride which levels to the super car standards or by the advanced Audi magnetic ride system which was first seen in the new TT coupe. The R8 is also equipped with especially designed VW headlights which make use of the LED technology.

The classy dampers fitted as part of the Audi magnetic ride system swap conventional damper fluid for a magnetorheological fluid possessing minute magnetic particles that can be influenced by an electromagnetic field. And since it contains magnetic particles once voltage is applied the viscosity of the fluid is altered by the affected magnetic particles increasing resistance to the damper movement to iron out pitch and roll when necessary. This process also reduces resistance resulting to a more comfortable ride. The system continuously monitors road conditions and driving style and reacts accordingly to the info gathered.

Lastly the 19-inch 5 double spoke design alloy wheels that is fitted with 235/30 size tires at the front and 295/30 size at the rear performs really well with the help of the fast reacting hydraulic rack and pinion steering.

Mercury Poisoning in Vaccines

As of 2007 the current type Mercury used in 6 major vaccines in America is called thimerosal, an organic form of Mercury, and here are the facts concerning it.

The Mercury Vaccine Facts:

A 0.1% solution of thimerosal is used. A 0.5 cc dose contains 25 mcg of mercury

Water Contamination = 2 Parts per billion.
Toxic Waste = 200 Parts per billion.
EPA Allowable Fish = 700-1000 Parts per billion.
0.5 cc Vaccine = 50,000 Parts per billion
(-Dr. David Ayoub, M.D.)
Vaccines have 250 times more concentrated deadly mercury than pure toxic waste, and since it is injected straight into the body rather than cleaned out through the body’s protection mechanisms in the digestive tract, we’re talking about beyond mercury poisoning. According to many expert medical witnesses & court findings it is beyond negligence.

After countless lawsuits against vaccine makers, tying them to a long list of diseases such as Autism, all but one manufacturer (the largest one) has been put out of business. Last year Bush Executive Order 10789 was put into place that protects this vaccine producer from being sued for any well proven injury injecting this poison has caused. Yet according to the FDA’s report in Nov. 30th 2006 on Thimerosal in vaccines, America still needlessly uses Thimerosal in 6 major vaccines.

There are a lot of myths out that vaccines have cured the larger diseases, propaganda put out by Rockefeller family who owns 99% of the vaccine industry, as well as much of the oil companies they use to make the pills out of. There has been no proven benefits of vaccinations, and many times people still get polio, hepatitis, small pox, measles, mumps and every other disease even after they were vaccinated for it, this is a medical fact! However the real proven cure has been the removal of improper pesticides such as DDT from farming.

Banned around the world, but not in the United States

That might explain why thimerosal was nearly eliminated in many countries 20 years ago. In 1977, a Russian study found that adults exposed to ethylmercury, the form of mercury in thimerosal, suffered brain damage years later. Studies on thimerosal poisoning also describe tubular necrosis and nervous system injury, including obtundation, coma and death. As a result of these findings, Russia banned thimerosal from children’s vaccines in 1980. Denmark, Austria, Japan, Great Britain and all the Scandinavian countries have also banned the preservative for children. Most adult vaccines throughout Europe still contain thimerosal. In America this so-called “preservative” is approved to continue to be used up until the year 2010.

The rumor about Porsche taking over Volkswagen is one of the longest enduring controversies in the auto industry. And with the additional shares purchased by Porsche at the Wolfsburg-based automaker will further strengthen the speculation of the rumored takeover. But how true is it?

Despite the additional shares purchased by Porsche at Europe’s largest automaker a takeover is surprisingly has never been the objective of the German sports car manufacturer.

The shares of Volkswagen, Europe’s largest automaker and producer of the popular range of VW head gaskets had rose and close at 5.24 euros ($6.96) or 6.5%, to 83.90 euros ($111.52) higher on Friday, after a report from Germany’s Manager Magazin stating that members of Porsche’s controlling Piech and Porsche families have purchased a third of Volkswagen’s preference shares which means that they had likely gone higher than the 30% limit set by the German corporate law for the initiation of a full takeover.

But despite the announcement from Porsche that they will not be taking over Volkswagen, some analysts still believe that the families which include VW’s chairman Ferdinand Piech have or will go beyond the set ceiling anytime soon.

According to Roman Mathyssek, Global Insight’s senior automotive analyst, “The cost benefits of increasing the stake in Volkswagen are doubtful at the moment. This has to do very little with logic and that’s why nobody believes it. From an industrial point of view there might be a good argument for the two companies to develop more products together, but you can do all that without increasing the equity stakes.”

The earlier purchase of the 20% stakes of Porsche at Volkswagen in the year 2005 was viewed by most analysts as a defensive move geared at safeguarding Europe’s largest automaker from any type of foreign takeover by hedge funds or by the likes of US corporate raider Kirk Kerkorian, who is a billionaire and president/CEO of Tracinda Corporation.

And from then on Porsche has been increasing its stakes reaching 27.4%. Chief Executive Wendelin Wiedeking announced just earlier this March that the company, Porsche is considering increasing its stake in Volkswagen to reach 30%.

Mathyssek said that the controlling families will not probably go beyond the 30% threshold not because they don’t want to but they would like to first negotiate an exemption from the takeover law while waiting for Volkswagen’s share price to drop significantly and once it does, “it wouldn’t surprise me if they filed for an exemption (with the government) so that they can get a whole 40% or 50% and not have to launch a takeover.”

About Porsche:
Porsche AG or Porsche is short for Dr. Ing. H.c. F. Porsche AG is a German sports car manufacturer founded in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche, the engineer who was responsible for creating the first Volkswagen. The company is headquartered in Zuffenhausen which is a city district of Stuttgart, Baden-Wurttemberg.

Porsche was awarded first place as the most prestigious automobile brand by Luxury Institute, New York in a survey conducted last May of 2006. At least 500 households with gross annual income of at least $200,000 USD and a net worth of at least $750,000 have participated in the said poll.

The current Porsche lineup includes sports cars starting from the Boxster roadster to their most famous product the 911. Another model similar to the Boxster is the hard top Cayman which has a slightly higher price range. The Cayenne is Porsche’s mid-size luxury SUV. The Carrera GT Supercar was removed from the line up last May 2006. The upcoming lineup of Porsche includes high performance Panamera which will be offered in luxury saloon/sedan. Porsche was also the first to use variable geometry turbocharger in a gasoline powered production automobile.

Last 2006 J.D. Power and Associates awarded Porsche for highest Nameplate Initial Quality Study (IQS) of automobile brands. Porsche as a company is renowned for withstanding changing market conditions with its remarkable financial stability. Most of its productions are done in Germany unlike other German automakers that have moved their operations partly to Eastern Europe or overseas.

Closing Costs. Zero Closing Costs. No Out of Pocket Costs, No Points. We hear a lot about this stuff but when it comes time to refinance, do we really know what closing costs we are paying? The truth of the matter is that mortgage companies know you’re fixated on closing costs. Because it’s next to impossible to make an apples to apples comparison of closing costs between competing lenders, even with Good Faith Estimates, unscrupulous marketers are frequently able to get you to take your eye off the ball by promising unrealistic closing costs, while smoothly throwing a fastball and couple of sliders right past you for a strikeout. So how do we avoid being hit by the pitch? We need to evaluate the costs as they amortize into the loan, one way or another.

First, I’d like to debunk the notion of “No Closing Costs”, heavily advertised by national marketers and banks. Have you ever heard the expression “There’s no such thing as a Free Lunch?”. All things in this world have costs to produce, and if you know anything about the companies that produce things, you’ll agree that they do their darndest to make you pay for them.

Here is a list of things which are the bare minimum costs of refinancing a loan:

1. Title Search & Title Insurance: An inescapable fact of life, these are the costs charged by a third party company whose job it is to find out whose names are recorded in relation to the property, establish a chain of title going back 24 to 60 months, to uncover any judgments, liens, zoning issues, etc. That’s the title search. Title work will also include name searches and “plat drawing”. Then, based on a variety of factors, including the level of risk that they perceive from the title search and the value of the property, they underwrite Title Insurance which covers the lender in case they did not find someone or something on title which make the loan uncollectible. Like taxes, there’s no way to escape this fee, however you may be able to minimize it if you can use the same company you used when you bought the house or last refinanced (look at the closing documents)

   Title Search averages $300 nationally, with some markets coming in lower and some much higher

   Title Insurance is Variable because there are so many factors in involved including the property’s value, but the national average is about $700, although it’s not unheard of for title insurance to cost as much as $3000 or more depending on the size and complexity of the property and the chain of title.

   Settlement, the actual coordination of the loan closing, is often listed as an Attorney fee or Escrow Fee. This is necessary to ensure that all the paperwork is correct and that everyone who needs to get a check at closing, be it you, a service provider, your old lender, or any number of creditors you may be paying off. The average is $500, and varies again with the market.

   Other title expenses may or may not be required at the discretion of the lender or title company to ensure the security of the property, including surveys, bankruptcy searches, etc. These fees again vary but you can expect your title bill to be the largest third party fees in connection with a loan.

2. Government Fees: Another one you can’t get around is the government’s fees which can be broken down into Taxes and Recording Fees, but can include more.

   City/County/State Tax Stamps and Intangible or Mortgage Taxes vary so dramatically that I cannot even begin to address this issue here, but range from nothing at all to 3% or more of the property value. This is NOT the same thing as property tax.

   Recording fees are the costs your county recorders office charges to file your deed, is mandatory, and range from $75 to $250 dollars.

3. Other Third Party Fees:

1. Appraisal: National Average of $350 but can be much higher depending on property size and location.
2. Credit Report: Averages $30
3. Flood / Pest / Other Inspections: Averages $100

4. Basic Lender Costs:

   (remember, there are significant regional variations for these fees, and bigger homes carry bigger fees)

1. Tax Service: $75 Average
2. Wire Transfer: $35 Average
3. Processing: $400 Average

5. Lender Discount Points:

   These are the “Points” on a loan, used to lower the interest rate to help you qualify for the loan based on your income. 1 point is 1% of the loan amount, so one a $200,000 loan a point is $2,000. You usually don’t need to pay points if your debt to income ratio or DTI, the measure of all of your debt payments plus your monthly housing expenses under the new loan, are below 40%. DTI guidelines are much more stringent today than they were even 3 months ago, especially for borrowers who are stating their income to qualify for the refinance.

6. Fees & Profit:

   Up until now, everything we have discussed has been around the hard costs of the loan. Now we get into the fee for service, where the lender or broker actually tries to make money, not unlike any other service provider such as an investment advisor, realtor or lawyer:

1. Origination Fees: Often charged as a percentage of the loan
2. Broker/Lender Fees: Again often charged as a Percentage of the loan

It’s important to remember that no one can do a loan for free, no matter how good of a customer you are, because each loan is a profit or loss to the lender by itself, and they have to assume that at one point or another the loan must be sold. Their time and their risk are valuable, just as your own or your lawyer’s or your realtor’s.

Closing costs vary not only by location, but depend heavily on what you qualify for, so your credit will affect the final numbers, especially with regard to Discount Points. Calculating your own closing costs can be best achieved by speaking with a mortgage company who can give you a Good Faith Estimate which outlines all of the above mentioned fees.

Different Ways We Wind Up Paying For Closing Costs

Now that you’ve seen everything laid out, do you believe anyone can offer a “No Closing Costs” refinance? These hard costs are always paid for one of two ways:

1. You are billed for each item and can choose to pay them in cash at closing or to roll the costs into the new refinance so that there is no money out of pocket to you.
2. You are charged a higher rate than you would normally qualify for over the life of the loan, which allows the lender to realize a premium, or a profit, which they can then credit toward your closing costs. So if the best rate you qualify for, with no discounts, is 6.00%, raising the rate slightly, to 6.375% or 6.625%, may provide you with a “rebate” which the lender can choose to apply to closing costs.

Sometimes these methods are used in combination. My recommendation is to compare the payments. Let’s look at two completely hypothetical examples:

Example 1: Roll Your Costs into the Loan Balance

$400,000 Refinance Loan Amount

$8,000 in Closing Costs

——————————————

$408,000 Financed

At 6.000% Interest over 30 Years

Has a Monthly Payment of $2446 for Principal & Interest

And a Monthly Payment of $2040 for Interest Only

A Typical Minimum Payment Option Would be About $1500

Example 2: Use a Higher Rate to Finance Closing Costs

$400,000 Refinance Loan Amount

“$0″ in Closing Costs (assuming the $8,000 in hard costs is advertised as Zero)

——————————————

$400,000 Financed

At 6.625% Interest over 30 Years

Has a Monthly Payment of $2561 for Principal & Interest

And a Monthly Payment of $2208 for Interest Only

A Typical Minimum Payment Option Would be About $1465

The reason I’ve included Interest Only payment option figures above is to show you how much more interest you pay each month if you choose a “Zero Closing Costs” option from any leading lender, versus rolling those costs into the loan. The final option is to pay for these costs out of pocket, which is not a very popular option today, but deserves treatment.

Example 3: Pay your own closing costs

$400,000 Refinance Loan Amount

$8,000 in Closing Costs Paid out of Pocket

——————————————

$400,000 Financed

At 6.000% Interest over 30 Years

Has a Monthly Payment of $2400 for Principal & Interest

And a Monthly Payment of $2000 for Interest Only

A Typical Minimum Payment Option Would be About $1465

Compared to rolling the closing costs into your loan, paying them out of pocket saves 46 dollars per month of principal and interest or 40 dollars of interest, a savings of about $500 a year or less. So unless you can’t get a return of more than $500 per year on your $8,000 investment (about 6.25%), there’s no strong argument to pay for the closing costs out of pocket. Online savings accounts and CDs already offer rates equivalent to this, and the S&P 500 has been returning about double this rate, so I personally would rather have access to my money and have it working for me. I won’t get into the fact that the extra $500 or so dollars of mortgage interest per year should be tax deductible as well (and please consult your CPA, we don’t give tax advice).

Cost - Benefit Analysis

Finally, we can turn to the benefits of refinancing and weigh them against the costs. We are going to do this by taking a before and after hypothetical situation, with the closing costs rolled in.

Hypothetically, let’s say that you want to refinance to Lower Your Monthly Payment, Change Your Loan Terms to get a fixed rate, and Take Advantage of the Equity Growth in Your Home to pay off your personal loans and credit card bills, and to improve your home to increase your quality of life. You are not planning to retire in this home, and plan on selling it in 5 years, but like the idea of a secure, fixed rate just in case rates go up a lot over the next 5 years. With the way the economy is going, you also want to keep your mortgage payment as low as possible, so in case anything happens you have the option to pay less on your mortgage.

You have a current mortgage balance of $350,000 dollars on which you pay $2250 per month, and your home is worth $600,000 dollars today compared to the $425,000 it was worth when you bought it.

You have about $32,000 in debts, on which you pay minimum payments of about $1500 a month and would like to take an additional $18,000 to do the kitchen, which you believe would improve the value of your home by $30,000.

So your total monthly spending on mortgage + cards etc. is $3750

Let’s say your credit score is 620, very average for a person with your level of credit card and other unsecured debt, and you prefer to state your income.

Hypothetically (this is only meant to be illustrative), you receive a rate quote and Good Faith Estimate which outlines the following:

Quote 1: Conventional 30 Year Fixed

$400,000 Refinance Loan Amount

$8,000 in Closing Costs

——————————————

$408,000 Financed

At 7.250% Interest over 30 Years

Has a Monthly Payment of $2783 for Principal & Interest
A Savings of $967.00 a month

Quote 2: Interest Only 30 Year Fixed

$400,000 Refinance Loan Amount

$8,000 in Closing Costs

——————————————

$408,000 Financed

At 7.500% Interest over 30 Years

Has a Monthly Payment of $2550 for Interest Only
A Savings of $1200.00 a month

It seems like a no-brainer right? The interest only is much lower, however your basic housing expense has still gone up $300, even though you’ve paid off all the cards and saved almost 1200 there. With the credit cards, even if you experienced a loss of income due to circumstances outside of your control, at least you could have afforded to miss those payments and scratch together money to make your mortgage payment, because the credit card lates would not cause you to lose your house. But with this refinance, which meets most of your goals, now you have to come up with a larger mortgage payment. So you get one more quote for a mortgage which allows for deferred interest, or making a minimum payment when you want to:

Quote 3: 30 Year Fixed Rate Cash Flow option mortgage

$400,000 Refinance Loan Amount

$8,000 in Closing Costs

——————————————

$408,000 Financed

At 7.500% Interest over 30 Years

Has a Monthly Payment of $2550 for Interest Only

Has a Minimum Payment Option of $1497

A Savings of $1200.00 a month on Interest Only
Ability to Defer Interest and Reduce your current minimum payment by over $2250.00

This is a fixed rate loan with the ability to defer interest, or a negative amortization loan, which allows you to use your remaining equity like a home equity line of credit whenever you want, with no closing costs. When you want to make a lower payment so your monthly cash flow goes further, you can do so by making the minimum payment, which borrows from your home equity to cover the difference between the interest only payment and the minimum payment. While the adjustable rate version of these loans are too risky to achieve your particular goals, a truly fixed rate cash flow option might be the answer, fulfilling all of your reasons to refinance while giving you security and flexibility for when a lower payment might be helpful.

Conclusion:
All loans costs money to originate and refinance, even if it’s not always clear how you may be paying for them. As we have seen, if you aren’t taking out a fixed rate cash flow option mortgage with the intent of only paying the minimum payment, most of the time it’s better to roll your closing costs into your loan, so that there is no out of pocket expense to you. Always remember to see if the loan achieves your goals, and don’t put too much stock in the GFE’s you receive while shopping around, because people, whether broker or bank, are more than willing to lie to you to beat out their competition initially, so they can lock you into a process which you cannot easily reverse. My recommendation is to speak with as many people as you can, but evaluate them on the basis of trust. You may find that the person who gives you the highest quote may be the only one telling you the truth. This is not a simple subject to discuss, and while we have tried to treat the subject thoroughly, a consultation with a refinancing specialist would be the best way to get answers specific to your situation.

Bill Gates is quoted as saying “there has never been a time
like the present, with so many opportunities”. It’s almost like
the California gold rush, only its so much bigger, because of
the global reach of the Internet and other global technologies.
The possibilities are endless.

Everybody is “looking” for opportunities, but very see it and
even fewer exploit it. There’s the now famous story of the two
men who visited India together. Upon their arrival in India one
of the men was so struck and rather appalled by the abject
poverty of the masses. His companion however, saw something else.

He saw an opportunity, an opportunity to shoe millions of feet
and make himself a fortune in the process.

This man is said to have gone on and established a shoe company
which produced millions of shoes and made him a very wealthy man.

There are thousands of other similar stories, of people who
turned what seemed to be somebody’s problem into a fortune,
including the story of South African born Hotel magnate Sol
Kerzner.

Kerzner turned an Island in the Bahamas which was considered
only good enough to be used as a rubbish dump, into what is
today known as the resort Island, Atlantis.

Opportunities come disguised in many forms and shapes. They may
come disguised as hard work, hardships, difficulties
and obstacles. When you see them as opportunities and take
them, who knows where you may end up?

Consider this: You may say I’m not going to knock on that door,
because I don’t like knocking on doors. The person opening that
door may give you the big break you have been looking for, but
you may just have missed it forever. After allhow could you have
guessed? That’s right! You couldn’t have.

Ever heard someone say, “It was a blessing in disguise”?

There are opportunities to make money, opportunities for
happiness but there are also opportunities for personal growth.
Opportunities to discover what you are capable of, to turn
weaknesses into strengths. Oportunities to help others and help
yourself in the process. There are opportunities to bless and be
blessed in return.

Do you see all these opportunities? And if you do, do you take
them? Or are you like those people who are only looking for that
one big opportunity that will turn you into an instant
millionaire.

Sun Tzu puts it so eloquently when he says, “opportunities
multiply as they are seized”. People who disregard all other
opportunity, while waiting for that one big opportunity don’t
know what they are missing. They may in fact be missing the big
opportunity itself, because you never know where every
opportunity may take you, if you embrace it.

However there’s one thing I know, won’t get you anywhere. And
that is sitting in your comfort chair, trying to figure out
which is opportunity and which is not.

So, here is my advice, try everything and test everything. So
what, if you failed or if things didn’t work out. You have would
have learned at least one thing. That particular venture isn’t
worthwhile or the method doesn’t work. Don’t allow your own
cynicism or that of other people rob you of what may potentially
be your biggest and best opportunity.

Have you tried all you know and still you find success as
elusive as ever? Can you afford to continue trying out
strategies that may or may not work? Discover proven real

Dubbed as the fastest woman in America, Milka Duno is the first woman to post a win in a major international sports car race in North America. She accomplished the feat after winning the Grand Prix of Miami with Andy Wallace in 2004 at the Homestead Miami Speedway.

On March 23, CITGO racing announced that they will be fielding a CITGO Racing/SAMAX Motorsport Dallara/Honda/Firestone in ten Indy Car Series events in 2007 season with Duno taking the spot behind the wheel. The prestigious Indianapolis 500 is one of the races that Milka will be competing on. The announcement was made at the Homestead Miami Speedway where Milka won the race and had taken her right into the spotlight.

“This is a dream come true for me. I’ve always wanted to race in the Indianapolis 500 and in the IndyCar Series, and I can’t begin to thank CITGO for continuing to support my racing, as well as everybody at SAMAX Motorsport,” says Milka. “The SAMAX team brings a lot of open-wheel experience to the IndyCar Series and I’m hopeful that will make my transition into the series a bit smoother. To make this announcement in my hometown of Miami with my family and friends and fans around me is terrific,” she added farther.

Announcing the entry of Milka on the prestigious series was Felix Rodriguez who is the president and the Chief Executive Officer of CITGO Petroleum Corporation. “I am very proud of Milka’s accomplishments as a member of the great CITGO family and as a fellow Venezuelan. We certainly look forward to her continued success in this new phase of her career,” says Rodriguez.

Also present at the announcement was Peter Baron, the team principal of SAMAX Motorsport. Baron has this to say during the announcement: “I would like to personally thank CITGO and Milka for their continued support and faith in our program. We know this effort, with a new sponsor, driver and team will not be easy, but we are thrilled to have this opportunity and will work our hardest to give Milka the necessary tools to succeed on track. I feel we have done a tremendous job creating a team with the perfect mix of “Indy talent” and team members that have worked with Milka from the beginning. Milka is already at home with the team which is the foundation from where all the growth and success begins.”

With her skills, the backing of a good team, and a vehicle with high performance parts just like Nissan Frontier parts, she will definitely make a mark in the series. How she performs against established drivers in the series remains to be seen though. But her upcoming entry to the Indianapolis 500 is already an accomplishment in itself.
