Right on Track (March 21, 2003)

When the National Hot Rod Association begins a new children’s league, eight-year-old Erica is first in line to sign up – only to be flatly informed that hot rodding is a `man’s’ sport, and that little girls should stay home with their dollies. Undaunted, and urged on by her supportive father Gregg, Erica persists in her dream to become a champion racer.

I can’t remember if I did this one or not because I watch this movie all the time! I love it, it is one of my favorites and one of the one that helped push me into my love of cars and racing. This is based off of the true story of Erica Enders, who is the first woman to compete in a junior drag racing competition. She had to endure a lot of hate and ridicule because she is a girl in a male dominate sport. For me personally, this was such an inspirational movie and helped shaped me to not limiting myself. Although vulnerable her determination to prove herself and be the best that she can was truly remarkable. I highly suggest this movie because of its inspirational message. Erica truly made it easier for other girls including her sister Courtney to be seen in the sport.
