Looking through the many Ferrari books that have been published over the years, the reader will learn more than enough about the sundry exploits of countless different berlinettas and spyders as they went from triumph to triumph at races, concours and in international salons.

Midwest Regional Meet

Hill Raab


An unpublished meet of members of the Midwest Region of the Ferrari Club of America was held in Eindhoven on the 5th and 6th of March 1977. Attendance was not up to the usual standards, however a couple of die-hard Ferrari enthusiasts, letting no expense or distance keep them from a meet, were able to attend.
