Some OG photos
Every once in a while you have to step back and just look at a bit of the history. Here is some of that both old and new.

A Bean Bandits’ Hot Rod magazine from the early 50s is up for bid.
Slappy’s Skateboard Garage Opens
One partner is a Bean Bandit and responsible for the Rumble in Ramona/Barona/Raleigh the other is just simply hard core and OG (he also builds hot rod pickups). Jake Doomey and Jason Carney opened up the grass roots shop in Ramona CA. Just a few blocks from the past three Rumbles.
Bonneville 2010
Everything went great this year. A few broken records and a smashed one. The LA crew showed up BIG this year. Diana Branch powered the Vintage Hammer rear engine modified roadster to a record run as well. The OG Ruben made it out this year. Maybe next year we can get Eagle and Ruben out at the same time too. All around a great week with all crews showing up big.
Antique Drags 2010
June was the Antique Drags in LA (Fontana) and it had a great turnout. A great collection of historical cars and new builds. Of course the Bean Bandit dragster made a pit appearance… The crews from LA and SD both made the event. Tom and Diana Branch, Fabian, Jake, and we even saw Ricardo aka Crusty was there.
Here is Dick doing some prep;
El Mirage June 2010
June wasn’t a good weekend for the 296 car. Mainline was hurt, time for a rebuild. However the crew made it out and had a great time racing as usual. Ruben even made it out for some good times and some good photos with the vintage camera. We’ll have to get lance to comment on the camera since I know jack about that stuff.
El Mirage May 2010
Being that it was the first weekend of the racing season at El Mirage, there were a lot of appearances from all the Bean Bandits crew. Derby Pattengill actually ran his sedan as well. (more…)
131 does it this time
Oooh so close…
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"
Congratulations to Tom and Fabian
