"Hi Guys and Gals,
My name is Brad Pate and I am the husband of Wendy Pate. I wanted to tell you guys about my wife at this point in her life. Yesterday she was diagnosised with liver cancer and if you know anything about that disease, it is terminal. The question was asked how long she would live and it was stated that they have seen people live another 2 years. Wendy went through cervical cancer back in Febuary and Chemo/ Radiation the whole gammet. The cancer spread through her lymph nodes to her liver. We have 3 boys. 18, 10, 2.
Wendy I beleive is a pioneer in the DSM world. She held the record for quickest big16 fwd no nos record. 12.1 @116 / 4 years ago. She got preggers and of course had to quit over 3 years ago. Then the cancer, started to get the car back together. Her goal has been to run a 10 second in her fwd.
Reason for this post:
I beleive we as a DSM community can make this happen for her before she leaves us. I have contacted Wier Automotive of Leland NC W.A.R. Wier Automotive Racing. They have agreed to do all the shop work required to get the car together. Big thanks to them! I know there are shops or vendors out that that would love to be part of this progect. I have the majority of the items. I am asking for time, maybe a trailor when the progect is done to get her to Englishtown, NJ to run the car, parts to make the car faster. Wendy did get to go to the Showdown at Englishtown this past weekend. That is one thing she wanted. She got a pic with Kiggly and his 1st place showdown outlaw FWD!
I challenge any shop, vendor, parts house to get this car into the 10s for my wife. I will sticker the car with your decal and you can be a part of history. There is going to be a big write up on this!
I can be contacted at (910)368-1104 cell # or via email at bradrpate@aol.com
Thank you for everything guys and gals,
Best wishes,
Brad Pate"

Just got word we just received V3 link from Thomas Dorris of ECMTuning, Inc. You are great!!
Thats what has been donated so far
Wow that’s awesome of the people donating and all the stuff that’s been donated.
Like Benny said, cancer sucks.
thats quite the donation list.
Theres more to it he has just yet to update the list. The car was picked up and brought to the shop to start the build. Its going to be done for the world cup import battle at Etown I believe
yeah thats what i was reading. hopefully SHE makes it to the event
yeah i hope everything works out for her. a good story.
and this is why we do what we do. seems like the community is getting together for this I will donate a helmet where they are if still needed not from cars4cancer but from me personally.
I know this thread is old but Wendy passed away last week before being able to drive the car down the strip. The car is tuned completely and they are finishing the cage up. Her husband is going to run it in memory of her some time in the future.
Damn RIP. I wish her husband luck on that 10 sec pass!
The car made over 500whp so it should go 10’s no problem
