Courtney Enders - Page 2

LNorton · 03-31-2007, 12:32 AM

Yea, I used Dad's owner points to get in Briston SG in '03.

And wtf is Courtney Enders doing in a stick car? Are they trying to train her to drive?

Last I heard neither of them could drive.

Ed, I've used owner grade points in Div 7. They expire Jan 1 every year. They don't carry over.

I don't see the owner points as any issue. I also think it's cool that ANYONE gets with it with a stick. Too many folks run from the stick. Give the kid some credit, she has more stones than most of the 3 inch long delay button guys in stock do.

Heck, maybe she will start a trend, not too many stick racers left out there. I for one encourage it. BTW, she was cranking gears in a SSer too. I think it is Scooter's old car right!
MAybe they will allow sticks in Junior dragsters?

Thanks God some rich guys haven't petitioned NHRA for a Pro Stock Automatic class. Ok , Ok, all you auto guys don't get too upset, it just isn't too often stick guys get to stick up for a young racer that actually races... a stick !

She ran the Houston & Belle Rose Div.4 races.

If she was a guy, or not an enders, would anybody really care?

Hopefully the group that Courtney represents will increase in number in spite of the tremendous challenges. Yep...she's a stick racer! (BTW - I've always liked Scooter's car.) Best wishes Courtney...I'll be pulling for you!

Don't say that everyone runs from a stick car. We currently run a stick car with a factory transmission. It has never been out of the car. I just want to know if this is a ploy to put her in a pro stock car with daddy's money.

What if it is a "ploy"? Is it better, worse or no different if the racer in question were a guy? Where would this sport be without "daddy's" money/influence...Tony Schumacher, Scott Kalitta, Kurt Johnson, etc.

Courtney's first passes in both were DQ'ed because both cars were light.

Lee, don't get your undies in a bunch! Reread my post. I just think that it is a heck of a lot cooler path for her to get her chops starting in a stick car and I think that is cool for anyone. The reality about her being a little rich girl is no different than most of the little rich boys that have done the same over time. Probably see her in a comp car with a stick soon if she can arrange it. If my daddy had her daddy's money, I would do anything! to get him to but me in one of their prostock cars and so would you I am betting! It beats having her hang out at the mall. I just think that anyone willing to go the stick route is very cool in my opinion since I race a stick and have a great time. Do the math Lee, there are only about 10% of us running stick shifts! We need more folks to realize what fun they can be. Most of the veteran racers ran stickshifts years ago. I guarantee, they busted more stuff and drove cars that were a lot harder to drive than any Jerico or Gforce car is to drive and maintain today. I am afraid that if our numbers get too small, we won't be able to maintain our class status.
To be totally honest, driving your car is probably a lot harder than the cars she is driving. I am 110% sure if I drove your car, that tranny would be out because I would miss 3rd and munch it!
