Pioneer, engineering visionary and promotional genius, Isky is considered to be the most influential figure, in the history of American Automotive Performance Engineering. His cigar and smile are iconic, across the world.
Even today, Isky’s legacy continues to shape international motorsports and automotive culture, all across the world. His advertising partnership with drag‑racing icon, Don Garlits, fully established the modern model of corporate sports sponsorship.
Watching Isky’s life, embodies the spirit of American ingenuity. He transformed the science of camshaft design and while doing so, he re-shaped American culture. He turned a garage hobby into a 100 Billion dollar industry and transformed our entire country, thru a true American automotive cultural revolution, that still exists to this day!
Always an advocate for the human spirit and thanks to his unparalleled enthusiasm, curiosity and knack for promotion, Isky converted a fragmented hobby of “hot rodders” into a professionally recognized community. For the first time, under his watch, racers, builders and manufacturers shared a national stage!
