When a new children’s hot rod racing league is introduced, an 8-year-old Erica (Briana Shipley) is ready to sign up and prove her skills.

But, with the support of their father Gregg, Erica and Courtney continue to pursue their dreams, and go on to win race after race. By the time they are teens, the sisters beat out most of their rivals.
