Today we mourn the loss of Ed Iskenderian, the originator of modern camshaft design and a true legend of our industry. For nearly seven decades, Ed was a pioneer whose vision helped shape hot rodding and racing as we know it. None of us would be where we are today without innovators like him emerging from Southern California—builders who laid the foundation, shared their knowledge, and inspired generations to push further, refine it, and make it our own. Ed will be remembered for his unmistakable smile, his ever-present cigar, and his lasting impact on all of us. Rest in peace, our friend. Thank you for everything you gave to this industry.
