'Isky was knocked down, but he is far from out.
Ed "Isky" Iskenderian, original hot rod hero, whose custom-ground camshafts powered generations of race cars to victory, is fine and still going strong at 102. That's the most important thing. But earlier in the week "The Camfather" was assaulted by a homeless person outside his home. Iskenderian took a slug to the left side of his face as the assailant took his phone and fled.
"A derelict fellow approached him, knocked Ed down and took off with Ed's cellphone," said racing PR professional Doug Stokes, who spoke with Iskenderian. "Ed called the police, and the police used the 'find' feature on Ed's phone to track him down."
The assailant was arrested.
Ed's son took his father to the emergency room, where he was checked out and given a clean bill of health. The elder Iskenderian returned to work in his shop that afternoon and even attended a memorial for drag racing crew chief and team owner Roland Leong at the Lions Automobile Museum the next evening.'

It's great he is doing so well. Sucks that this happened to him. I had no idea that he is still with us. That is really cool!
The guy who did that to him was not very smart. He made it real easy to be caught! Another dumb criminal.

What in the hell is this world coming to?? Assaulting a 102-year-old fella. That criminal should be flogged just for even thinking about such an act.
I too am shocked to hear Mr. Isky is still with us. Hope there's no underlying injury and he's OK from here on out. I hope to look as good at 62.... let alone 102!
