We Had A Last Minute Scratch,

Made For Kind Of An Odd Number,

But Don't Worry.

You Got Your Time.

But I'd Really Like

To Make Another Run.

You Know, For

The Practice.

I'm Sorry, Erica,

There's Just Nobody Left

In Your Age Class.

I'll Race Her.

She's Too Young.

I've Got

The Same Kind

Of Car.

It's Against League

Rules, Isn't It,

Commissioner?

Not If It's Out

Of Official

Competition.

She's Right, Erica.

As Long As Your Folks

Don't Mind.

They Don't.

Ok, Erica, Looks Like

You Got Yourself A Race.

[Sighs]

Hmph.

Out-Of-Competition Race

Between Erica And Courtney,

The Enders Sisters.

[Applause And Cheering]

[Engines Revving]

You're In Charge,

Crew Chief. Today,

I'm Just A Spectator.

You Do Realize That

No Matter Who Wins,

It's Gonna Be

A Long Ride Home.

Announcer:

Sisters Are On The Lines,

Staged And Ready To Go.

[Applause And Cheering]

[Engines Revving]

Announcer:

Toodle-Oo!

Ugh!

Yes! I Got Her!

Ugh, You Didn't Let

Me Win, Did You?

Yeah, Right.

I Got A Bad Start.

You Know, You're Too

Tense, You Gotta Relax.

You Know, Take

A Deep Breath.

Works For Me.

Wanna Go Again?

Sure.

Announcer:
Ladies And Gentlemen,

It's A Grudge Match!

Erica And Courtney Enders

Back On The Track

And Ready To Go Again.

[Engines Revving]

Bye-Bye!

Rats!

Yes! All Right!

You Didn't

Let Me Win,

Did You?

Ugh, Yeah, Right!

[Laughs]

Hey, Courtney?

Hmm?

Thanks. That Was

Good Advice,

That Little Relaxation Thing

Before The Start.

I Think It Helped.

Yeah. The Only

Time You Lose

Is When You Really,

Really Want To Win.

Jordy Clown?

You Just Gotta

Well, It Beats

Not Being Out There,

I Guess.

Excuse Me.

So, You Gonna Bring

The Trophy Home This Time?

Your Father's Never Won

A National Competition.

Does That Put Any More

Pressure On You, Jordy?

Ah, Heck, No.

My Dad, Uh, No.

He's Never Put Any

Pressure On Me.

Oh, Ah, Erica! Erica!

How Does It Feel To Be The

Only Girl Out Here Today?

Do You Folks Have To

Keep Asking Me That?

Just Like Everybody

Else Here.

Come On, Commissioner!

You've Known Us

For A Long Time.

You Know There's

No Truth To This.

I Got The Record

Right Here, Enders.

Your Daughter's Had

A 5-0 Light In Her

Last 9 Races,

And 3 Today.

Nobody Gets A Dozen

Perfect Starts

In A Row. Nobody.

Are You Calling

My Daughter A Cheater?

Nobody Said Her.

It's You.

You're The Big

Computer Electronics

Genius.

You Stick

A Light-Sensitive

Photo Cell

In The Front

Of That Car,

It Reads The Tree.

That's The Only Way

You Get 12

Perfect Starts.

I Have Been Practicing

Those Starts

Every Free Minute I Had.

Erica. Let Me

Handle This.

He's Gonna Call Me

A Cheater?

Erica.

Erica, They Filed

An Official Protest.

Now, If It Was

Just Knowlton,

I Could Ignore It.

But There's A Few

Signatures Here.

And According To The Rules,

Until It's Checked Out

Officially,

I'm Sorry. You're On Hold.

Don't Worry About It.

It's Gonna Be Ok.

Randy, Make Sure

They Go Over

Every Square Inch

Of This Car.

I Don't Want To Give

Anyone A Reason

To Say That We're

Hiding Something.

You Got It.

Randy:
Hey, Watch

The Paint Job, Ok?

After A Thorough

Investigation--

Very Thorough--

There Is No Evidence To

Back Up These Charges.

The Protest Is

Officially Dismissed.

You're Back In,

Erica.

Knowlton:
I'll Go Over

Your Head, Bowen.

If You Can Find

Somebody, Go Ahead.

Nobody Gets That Many

5-0 Starts!

[Whispering]

Dad, Let's Just Go.

You Got Something

In That Car, Enders.

What Is It?

Well, I'll Tell You

What I've Got

In This Car.

A Teenage Girl.

Something Else You

Want Here Tonight?

We'll See Who's

Laughing Tomorrow.

[Laughs]

Erica?

You Asleep?

Yeah.

I Just Wanted

You To Know

That I Know We Fight

And Stuff Sometimes,

But You Know All

The Stuff I've Got,

Like, The Medals And

Trophies And Stuff?

Well, I Never Would

Have Had Any Of That

If It Weren't

For You.

I Mean, Racing

Was For Boys.

And I Never Would

Have Had The Guts

To Do What You Did.
