SCOA History - Powered by Passion and Performance

Back in 2003, a spirited bunch of Saleen Mustang enthusiasts decided it was time to shake things up. Led by the dynamic Mike Chessnoe and about 14 other charter members, they set out to create something phenomenal—a club that was everything but ordinary. Born from a desire for a club that "didn’t suck," the Saleen Club of America (SCOA) roared to life!

The essence of SCOA is all about living the dream—sharing, enjoying, and preserving the awe-inspiring Saleen vehicles. It’s a place where members double as custodians of these incredible machines, ensuring every Saleen’s legacy races on. As a goldmine of knowledge and technical info, SCOA serves both its members and the public, fueling enthusiasm with expert insights.

With events that are as exciting as a lap around the track, SCOA is all about "Fun, Friendships, and Saleens." It’s where the thrill of the drive meets the joy of camaraderie. Now with over 300 members stretching across the globe—from the U.S. to over a dozen countries—SCOA is a testament to Saleen's mantra: "Power in the Hands of a Few." True to the exclusive nature of Saleen, these handcrafted beauties are as unique as the club itself, ensuring that, while we may be many, we’re also unmistakably elite. So, rev your engines and let’s keep this party on the fast track to more thrilling adventures with SCOA!
