“CRAFT OF SPEED” MOONEYES DOCUMENTARY TO SCREEN AT ANALOG&GRIT
We’re thrilled to announce that Analog&Grit Collector Car Storage Club will be presenting a special screening of our “Craft of Speed” 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 Moon's legacy, and popularize hot rod culture in Asia. In 2025, MOONEYES celebrates its 75th anniversary.
Elana Scherr, the Senior Editor/Features, of “Car and Driver,” sums up the film perfectly: “American and Japanese Hot Rodding Meet in New MOONEYES Documentary.”
“Craft of Speed” was nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the International Motor Film Awards 2025 and won a Silver Remi Award at the World-Fest Houston International Film Festival 2024.
Founded by Josh Sistar and Nick Nesbitt, Analog&Grit is a spacious car storage location, inviting social club, and dynamic event space. Best of all, it’s a thriving car community hub.
The screening will be after their popular monthly Sunday Grit Cars & Coffee event, which draws many special cars and passionate attendees.
In addition, there will be a curated car showcase, featuring Chico Kodama’s record-setting land speed race car (1533), a rear engine modified roadster.
We’re also honored to exhibit a selection of race cars from the legendary Bean Bandits. Founded by Joaquin Arnett in the 1950s, this respected car club from the Logan Heights, San Diego area won more than 300 races and set multiple land speed records.
Prior to the screening, there will be a lively discussion with director Ming Lai and Willie Masayoshi Dorsey, a respected builder, about legendary Fred Larsen, a MOONEYES machinist, builder, racer, and multiple land speed record holder. Fred also helped build the first Shelby Cobra at MOON Equipment Company.
Willie restored Fred’s 1927 Ford Model T Roadster A115, a land speed race car that set a record every year from 1959 to 1964 and is now on display at the NHRA Motorsports Museum.
We’ll also have limited copies of the “Craft of Speed” MOONEYES Documentary DVD and Photography Book for sale.
Thank you so much to Josh Sistar, Nick Nesbitt, and Analog&Grit for helping bring our film to the San Diego community. A heartfelt thank you to Ian and Cindy Delos Santos for their thoughtful introduction to Josh and Nick. Special thanks to Willie Masayoshi Dorsey for sharing his fond memories of Fred Larsen. Many thanks to the Bean Bandits for their inspiration. As always, our deepest gratitude to Shige Suganuma, Chico Kodama, and MOONEYES for all their support.
