  10. Happy birthday Isky!! We should all be so lucky as you, you look wonderful!
     
  11. Went to the drag races at Green Valley Raceway back in the late 60’s——a “pop up” shower in July doused the track and me also(in my 20’s). I was walking in the pits in a totally soaked, drenched t shirt.Ed Isky was there “hawking” his t shirts and Isky products. He spied me in the drenched shirt and said,”here kid, looks like u could use a dry t shirt” and gave me one to wear. I wore that t shirt out and always reminisced about the free Isky t shirt from the legend himself. Flatheads Forever!!! IMG_2200.jpeg IMG_1943.jpeg

    Happy birthday to a legend and a super cool guy. Had the chance to meet him and chat for a just a bit at the Meltdown Drags; he was just a young pup at 96 then! :)

    Belated happy birthday. This photo popped up for me today, Ed with the SEMA trophy, think he was SEMA president at the time. (Trophy is now in the British Motor Museum with Sydney Allard’s dragster)
