The truth teller at Beans is an in-ground, DC 15,000 model chassis dyno from Dynocom Industries (and we’ll note that Dynocom Inc. even sponsored the dyno portion of the event). An eddy brake helps place the diesels strapped to it under enough load to build adequate boost. In total, more than 40 truck owners would patiently wait their turn to accelerate
Beans’ facility has long been notorious for its concrete burnout pad. It’s a place where tires go to die, and at Blackout in the Country 2019 dozens of them did just that. The impromptu nature of the burnout shenanigans means they’re ceaselessly taking place throughout the day, which provides great filler entertainment between the dirt drag and truck pull events.
Around for many years now, Beans Diesel Performance and Bean Machine owner, Ryan Bean, told us the Blackout in the Country event grows bigger and bigger each year. This time around, his rough estimate on spectator turnout was 2,500. With so much to do and see (by way of burnouts, the dyno, dirt drags, truck pulls, and vendor row) and trucks literally parked everywhere, we don’t doubt that attendance number in the least.
