​​The History
Our Goal
Our ultimate goal of Project *Keeker" is to strip the car and the engine down. Then rebuild it into a 10 second Drag car so we can race it competitively on the East Coast. All winnings will be divided up and sent as a donation to the Cancer Research Center, to help pay for the medical bills incurred, and the remainder of the winnings will be put back into the car to keep it on the race track. The PayPal donation link is below. From the time Justin’s mom bought the car, it has been driven, bumped, cracked, repaired and now Justin is in the process of stripping it and rebuilding it into a Drag car in his mom’s name. After the engine is rebuilt the car will have a skin applied to it (verses a finish coat of paint) that will be Pink Camouflage and have the Pink Breast Cancer ribbons all over it. We are hoping to get the car and engine rebuilt as soon as soon as possible so Justin’s mom can watch it race.
In 1999 Justin Tracy's (Trace) mom bought a Red 1995 Honda Accord and fell in love with it. In 2004 when Trace was 16 his mom let him drive it for the first time and he fell in love with it. He begged his mom to sell/give it to him. His mom finally promised to sell it to him when he turned 17. It turned out she wasn't able to sell it to him because she couldn't afford anything else at the time. In 2007 his Mom was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. After a year or so of Chemo and Radiation her will to fight the cancer won and now she is a Breast Cancer survivor. When Trace turned 21 his Mom finally passed the car onto him and he couldn't have been happier. Then about 2-1/2 years after, the cancer reared its ugly head and she was told that the cancer had metastasized and was now in her spine, some of her ribs a bone in her leg and in her liver. She began the treatments again and they seemed to be keeping it from spreading and even shrunk it some. In March of 2012 we found out that the cancer has metastasized into her left eye. She started another rigorous radiation regiment and the treatment has been successful. Then we found out a couple of weeks ago that the cancer had again metastasized into her lungs. In August of 2012 we found out that the cancer was forming again and now it has spread to her Brain (Cerebellum). They have stopped the chemo again and will start a 3 week regiment of radiation in the next few days. Her spirit is high her faith strong and her will to live is without waiver.
