Hi I’m Yanira and I am married to Roger Scalise the driver and we have 2 handsome boys together! I am a photographer and also Partnered with a beauty brand called Monat and homeschool our boys. 

I have a 1976 Chevy Camaro Type LT. With a Chevy 350 motor in it, I added a NRG quick release system with a Sparco steering wheel. I am saving up for a Edelbrock pro flo 4 intake manifold and EFI kit. We are going to three piece the 1980 z28 wheels. I am extremely excited for how this car turns out!

Hi my name is Gavven Scalise, I’m the son of Roger Scalise, I am building my own drag RC car replicating my dads Honda Civic EK. I am going too add a brushless motor and making it all aluminum. And program a launch control system for my front wheel drive RC car.

He has appeared in numerous films and theatrical plays in both New York and Los Angeles and has authored over a dozen One-Man shows. He is currently developing a One-Man show based on his life as a lifelong Prince fan. In his spare time he likes showing up to the Scalise household for dinner as often as he can.

My dream car has always been a 1979 white Camaro with a powder blue interior. Well, dreams do come true as one day I noticed the very same car sitting in my neighbors garage, which for some reason he never opened. He sold it to me for close to nothing. It didn’t run, had no brakes and was in complete disarray. With the help of many great mechanics over the years including Roger Scalise, who was the first one to actually get the car running, the car is functional and in use to this day. It still needs a lot of work. My dream for it now is to have a complete engine and cosmetic overhaul so that it looks as if it just came off the showroom floor. I want to drive this car as my ‘everyday vehicle’ and not as an occasional local jaunt on the weekend.
