The Story of Right on Track
This movie is based on the true story of two sisters, Courtney and Erica Enders. They became very successful in junior drag racing, a sport often thought of as for boys.
Sisters and Racing Challenges
Courtney and Erica faced challenges from other racers who did not want girls competing with them. This made the sisters even more determined to win. Erica also found it hard to balance her racing with school and friends. She even thought about quitting racing.
Winning the National Title
However, Erica soon realized that racing was what she truly loved to do. As they got older, the Enders sisters achieved their goal. They won the NHRA Junior Dragster national title. Both sisters continued to race throughout high school and college, and they still race today.
