###Small Tidbits
Major Plant in the south of Maine, USA, small overseas plant in northern France (Produces only Race/Track cars)
Built from an old Tractor Factory, and the original factory still stands to this day.
The entire Maine plant has minimal Human Input or Interaction, with 95% of work being completed by Robots.

###Motorsports
Vinson dynamics has had runs and cars in various sporting series over the years. Most recently was a run in the ATCC, using a tuned Solo Beaver SSM. The team had a less than hopeful outing. Most famously, was their run in the 1986 World Rally Championship, where they took 2nd in class, using a Mk4 Stryder. Current motorsports include GP2, SuperGT (GT500 class), WEC (LMGTE-pro), and V8 Supercars.

###Cars to follow, at a later date, along with the entire history.
