The Eagle has landed
In Bonneville. After many years MATHIAS “THE EAGLE” PONCE made it back to Bonneville Speed Week. He was able to help out fellow Bean Bandit Jake Doomey and his crew of Lance Dawes and Chad Ausburn run the Flathead powered ’53 Ford Mainline to a top speed of 115 and change. And the car never broke, all week long.
The one and only "Eagle"
Eagle has raced many things over many years and he was a valuable asset to the race team. Whenever we need him he was there and straight handled it.
Eagle was a key part of all of us having a great time, sharing the work load, driving the truck and trailer when needed. And he is hilarious. It was great to see a real legend back out on the salt, especially an OG Bean Bandit.
It looks like he had a good time;
