FCA Missouri & Southern Illinois

Luxury / Exotic

As this was a time before the national club had chapters, the group acted as a semi-autonomous portion within the Central States Region. The recurring leader of the group was Dan Feinberg until there became a point in the latter part of the 1990s when the group became dormant as no one came forward to take over from him. By 2000 Bud Stroheide had taken on the leadership role to reinvigorate our group and led the process starting in late 2001 that resulted in us transition into being an officially recognized Chapters; part of a national Ferrari Club of America initiative to encourage the formation of Chapters to provide more local level area coverage for the members. By late 2002 we were one of the 23 functioning Chapters across the US and Canada. Initially called the Missouri Chapter, in 2003 we renamed to “Missouri and Southern Illinois Chapter” to better reflect how our territory encompasses substantial portions of both states. Although mostly centered around the St. Louis metroplex we have members across our entire territory encompassing Eastern Missouri to Columbia, Jefferson City and south while in Illinois we cover everything south from Quincy to Decatur. Today, the club has hundreds of members who engage regularly in social events, track events, drives, F1 watch events, and events with chapter sponsors. Nearly every modern model is represented, with many unique specs.
