Regarding individuals from my previous post and a related quote from Isky...

"Big John ran my cams, as did Setto Postoian; at the beginning, it was a bit of an Armenian nepotism thing, but they both ran good and won using our stuff, so they both stayed with us a long time."

Nepotism and talking trash....

My best friend in High School was of Armenian descent and we both grew up during the gasser wars of the mid-60s watching "Big John" Mazmanian at Southern California drag strips. At the time my friend's father owned and operated a waste management business in Southern California. He was related to J.C. Agajanian who was heir to a fortune built on garbage collection. And "Big John" was the owner and operator of Mazmanian Disposal, a Los Angeles waste management business.

( Side note. Micky Thompson Pontiac powered streamliner had parts sponsered by Isky )
