We at CarShowSafari are extremely fortunate to have known Ed Iskenderian and spend time with him. He was a smart, curious, compassionate, generous and a very high-energy human being. (Just try to keep up with him and his walker at the Grand National Roadster Show!) He always had a smile and a story for everyone he met. We miss you, Ed!  – Tommy Scalera

Ed “ISKY” Iskenderian didn’t just build engines — he built the sport of drag racing from the ground up. Long before land-speed records and legendary showdowns, a young machinist obsessed with speed started grinding camshafts in his own garage. What followed changed motorsports forever. Alongside a crew of fearless innovators — John Athan, Mickey Thompson, Vic Edelbrock, Don “Big Daddy” Garlits, and Bones Balogh — Iskenderian helped invent the parts, the language, and the culture of hot-rodding as we know it. This is the story of the machinists, dreamers, and daredevils who turned backyard tinkering into a cultural revolution — and of the man whose name became synonymous with speed itself. “ISKY” is a thrilling documentary about the pioneers who built American motorsport from scratch.

Directed by Cheyanne Kane Featuring Ed Iskenderian, Mickey Thompson, Dan Gurney, Gene Winfield, Dave McClelland, ‘Tarazan’ John Austin, Edward Arnold Winfield
