As fellow hot rodders, the BFR team has to wish a Happy Birthday to an absolute legend today! Ed “Isky” Iskenderian turns 104 and is still kicking! 🤯 He is the founder of Isky Racing Cams that is a leader in performance parts. He is known as the “Cam Father” and lit an inextinguishable fire in automotive industry that introduced to the world one of the first performance camshafts. God has to love hot rodding to let the cam father live this long. One can only dream of what just an hour conversation with this man would be like with his century old stories with valuable life insight because he has clearly never given up.
Anyone that has experienced the “cam life” can say that others who haven’t experienced it are missing out and deserve at least one vehicle with a choppy cam. It is highly recommended for couples as the jiggling and chopping vibration keep it entertaining. 😉
Ed is one smart entrepreneur and has given hot rodders the recipe for a long life. 💯

Happy 249th Birthday, America! 🇺🇸
BFR would like to wish all of our customers a fun-filled Independence Day holiday! May you and your loved ones enjoy this day and remember that it represents everything you constructively contribute to our company, the industry, and ultimately, the country. This holiday has become a powerful symbol of freedom, liberty, and the American ideal of self-determination. It is a day to reflect on the values enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the sacrifices made to secure them. It is also an opportunity to reflect on the core values of the United States, such as liberty, equality, and the pursuit of happiness, which are deeply rooted in the Declaration of Independence.
On a personal note, it’s important in 2025 to love your country no matter what unknown circumstances it may be facing. This can be challenging but necessary. For some, it’s hard right now as others are rejoicing. Let the equally divided parties duke it out with drama and chaos while the unaffiliated (the majority) adapt and overcome whatever obstacles fall their way. This whole right-wing, left-wing BS needs to disappear to common sense that they’re both wings of the same bird. America deserves a purposeful president now more than ever and hasn’t had one since 2008 with George W. Bush. Presidents like Harry Truman that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan to end WWII and save American lives in 1945 with a 91% approval rating or Ronald Reagan, with a 71% approval rating that was responsible for introducing the War on Drugs to the United States are what America needs. Bill Clinton may have been scandalous, but he introduced a new tax system which increased taxes on the rich and decreased them on the poor and had a 73% approval rating. Most can agree that the last administration was complete garbage and the 2024 election didn’t have much positive change to choose from so it’s ride or die at this point. The current government clearly has too much power. They want the American people sick (COVID proved this) while offering no affordable healthcare, on drugs while offering unaffordable treatment and dissolution mental healthcare all while pushing prescription drugs down everyone’s throats so big government pharma can profit. They can’t even keep drugs out of government property as it’s mostly abundant in prisons and schools. There’s a reason why prisons and schools look and operate the same because US government schooling simply serves two comical purposes, one is prison preparation and the other is preparing for the mentally and physically draining 9-5 grind. They approve junk food to keep Americans sick. They allow cigarettes and alcohol to be deathly legal as the government reaps profits when it becomes uncontrollable. They comically stress socializing to develop, learn and grow when history has proven that geniuses don’t prioritize socializing. Many prefer their own company even if they are capable of socializing. It’s all a scheme by design to keep the American people distracted while the government scams its own people. They even want control of our children by educating them to their standards. Most of us are not okay with giving the government that much power over us and our families. The result of government schooling surrounds us and it’s not improving anytime soon. Voting is now a joke. There’s a voter registration website dedicated to listing the American people as “active” or “inactive” like an inmate status. 🤣 Some might not agree but at the BFR camp, anything concerning the government is preferred to be inactive. At the end of every day, simply pay the government their required taxes that supports others and infrastructure and keep it moving. There’s plenty of freedom without government involvement only if you personally seek it. Wake up, America. The true meaning of independence and freedom is self-sought and is on the horizon for everyone. You’ve got this! 💯

Side note: Our Founding Father’s would be so ashamed of how America has turned out 249 years later. They never meant for it to be like this. Today’s government is nothing like the beginning plans.
“The greatest good we can do our country is to heal its party divisions, and make them one people.”
Thomas Jefferson, To John Dickinson, 23 July 1801
“[The spirit of party] serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another.”
George Washington, Farewell Address, 19 September 1796.
“[The spirit of party] opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions.”
George Washington, Farewell Address, 19 September 1796.
“The unity of government which constitutes you one people is … a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But … it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth; … this is the point in your political fortress against which the batteries of internal and external enemies will be most constantly and actively (though often covertly and insidiously) directed.”
George Washington, Farewell Address, 19 September 1796.
