ANALOG&GRIT: A HUB FOR THE CAR COMMUNITY AND THE HOST OF âCRAFT OF SPEEDâ
The very first time we visited Analog&Grit, we were taken aback by its immense sizeâa cavernous warehouse. As a collector car storage club, it houses many coveted vehiclesâvintage Porsches, BMWs, Mini Coopers, Datsuns, to name a few. It even has a Mercedes-Benz Unimog, which could survive an apocalypse. With its hip industrial vibe and passionate people, itâs no wonder that itâs become a hub for the car community.
Weâre honored to be able to work with Analog&Grit in bringing our âCraft of Speedâ MOONEYES Documentary to San Diego and creating a memorable cinema event. Weâll be screening our film on a unique Urban Entertainment Vehicle (UEV) by Control Entertainment. Weâre thrilled to celebrate two legendary racing teams and longtime friends, MOONEYES and the Bean Bandits, and display their renowned race cars.
Weâre excited to showcase talented photographer Zap Teshimaâs powerful photos of the Bean Bandits. Before the film, weâll be in conversation with the Bean Bandits and respected builder Willie Masayoshi Dorsey. Weâre also very moved by the generous support of Vintage Motor Union in organizing a âHonor the Pastâ Rally of vintage vehicles from Los Angeles to San Diego to attend the screening.
We met Analog&Grit through the thoughtful introduction of Ian & Cindy Delos Santos. Our cinema event wouldnât be possible without all of these good friends and community partners coming together. Our deepest appreciation to them.

ZAP TESHIMAâS PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE BEAN BANDITS TO BE DISPLAYED AT âCRAFT OF SPEEDâ MOONEYES DOCUMENTARY SCREENING AT ANALOG&GRIT
We first saw Zap Teshima at a MOONEYES Christmas Party at Irwindale Speedway many years ago. He was carrying a vintage Leica camera and and taking a break from shooting at the MOONEYES booth. We love Leica so we thought it was cool that he was using one. Later, we finally met him at another MOONEYES event and bonded through the love of photography.
Since then, weâve become huge fans of his powerful photographyâcontrasty black-and-white images, using natural light with dynamic framing, of hot rod culture and beyond that feel intimate and authentic. They remind us of master photographer Robert Frankâs seminal book, âThe Americans.â
In addition to legendary MOONEYES, a frequent subject is the equally renowned Bean Bandits, whom he documents with passion. At our âCraft of Speedâ MOONEYES Documentary screening at Analog&Grit in San Diego on Sunday, 1/25/2026, weâll be digitally exhibiting some of his photographs of the Bean Bandits. Weâre deeply honored to display Zapâs incredible work.

Weâre excited to announce that the legendary Bean Bandits will be a part of our âCraft of Speedâ screening at Analog&Grit in San Diego on Sunday, 1/25/2026. Founded by esteemed builder/racer Joaquin Arnett in 1949 and based in Logan Heights, San Diego, they have won more than 300 races and set multiple land speed records. Both having long, rich, and shared histories, the Bean Bandits and MOONEYES are old friends.
The Bean Bandits will be exhibiting three of their renowned race cars that showcase their past and recent history at Analog&Grit, including Joaquin Arnettâs flathead-powered dragster, their #200 flathead-powered modified roadster, and possibly Fabian Valdezâs nitro fuel roadster.
After the screening, weâll be in conversation with the Bean Bandits and respected builder Willie Masayoshi Dorsey, who knew Arnett and restored MOONEYES machinist Fred Larsenâs land speed record-setting 1927 Ford Model T Roadster A115.

Weâre thrilled to announce that Analog&Grit Collector Car Storage Club will be presenting a special screening of our âCraft of Speedâ MOONEYES Documentary at their headquarters in San Diego, California on Sunday, 1/25/2026.
In the film, Shige Suganuma and Chico Kodama, two Japanese/Japanese American hot rodders, helped save Moon Equipment Company, an iconic American speed parts company, rebrand it as MOONEYES, preserve legendary founder Dean Moonâs legacy, and popularize hot rod culture in Asia. In 2025, MOONEYES celebrates its 75th anniversary.
Weâll also have limited copies of the âCraft of Speedâ MOONEYES Documentary DVD and Photography Book for sale.
