The Bean Bandits Today

By Moldy Marvin P 1

The Bean Bandits have come along way and nuthin's stopin'em. Like I said earlier throughout my life these guys keep comin' up in stories of old and new. I' been followin'em around for the past few years and they keep popin' up.. Well like jupin' beans. Fact is I been hangin' around so much I sort'a feel like one of the family. So in the next few pages I'm gonna share a bunch of fotos with ya and try and fill ya in what they been up to.

This is what their dragster looks like today. I took this a few years back at the Shifters Anti-Blessing.

This last season has been pretty busy for both Julio Hernandez and Brad White. They work for Autopower the White's family run business. Most of the time their pretty busy buildin' race cars for other folks and then in their spare time have been working on 2 different projects. The one on the right is a modified roadster that is self built with most of the parts donated from their fellow racers.

Julio and Brad are the youngest Bean Bandits. They are also members of the San Diego Roadster Club and run the car under both clubs.
