Default Gary Scelzi's Crew Worked on my Car!

Well today I was at a motel near Reading Pa.. This morning I got up to head for the track, & my Caviler had a FLAT I pulled under the awning in front of our motel.. Doug who was with me had already left for the track so here I am an "OLD FART" going on 65 in 2 months.. trying to get the doughnut tire out and on the Caviler.. and "Lo & Behold" These 4 guys come over and said... "Hey we cant just stand here while you bust your Balls changing that tire.. we'll help you out"

I said Ain't you Scelzi's crew ?? & they said yes, but no prob.. "Pops" we'll get ya going" AND THEY DID

I drove to a local shop and the Valve stem was bad.. got it fixed & made it to the track in time for the first round...
