For our final episode of Season 2, we speak with a legend. But Ed Iskenderian isn't just a legend--he made his mark at the birth of hot rodding and has been shaping its course ever since. Isky came to visit us during the Speedster Reunion at the Museum of American Speed and was kind enough to give an interview in front of a live audience.
We hear about the birth of hot rodding, the post-war automotive explosion, and how Isky made his first cams. He talked about the Cam Wars, told stories about John Athan, Scotty Fenn, Emery Cook, Cliff Bedwell, Joaquin Arnett, and what it was like to meet Ed Winfield for the first time. He talks about the NHRA fuel ban, getting kicked off the Salt Flats by the Air Force before WWII, and so much more.
