Well, I joined officially in June so you will get the last half of 2011 That is also when we joined the forums for the first time! It was a pretty crazy year - lots of shows, training events, races, track events and trade shows. You could have found someone from Team VAC in: USA, Germany, The Netherlands, UK, Lebanon and a few other countries. Hundreds of amazing cars came through the Performance Center - existing and new customers alike. It was also great to meet a lot of local chaps.

Huge thanks to everyone for trusting us with your projects, we really appreciate it. 2012 will be even crazier, trust me!

Below you will find some pics...a few events are missing. I'm focusing on actual events and VAC cars...with one or 2 over the top customer projects tossed in.

A few random snaps from early 2011:

5th Annual SONIC Meet. We round up our 135i, our Touring Car, Anderson's GTR, White Elephant, Steve's E30 M3, Brian's E30 M3, Dave's Cayman and about 100k in parts and engines for the 5th Annual Sonic Meet. Great meet loaded with lots of enthusiasts. BMW content was relatively limited, but I hope that changes for 2012 - this event has a great purpose.
