The SCCA Continental Championship was an annual, professional, open-wheel motor racing series organized by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), under various names, from 1967 to 1976.
The inaugural series was staged in 1967 as the SCCA Grand Prix Championship.
[2] For 1969 the series was renamed to the SCCA Continental Championship,[1] with the Formula A cars now contesting a separate feature race at each championship event and the Formula B & C cars competing in their own race for separate points.
[9] During 1976 USAC announced their intention to withdraw from the co-sanctioning arrangement at the end of the year.
[11] Regulations permitted the existing Formula 5000 cars, with fully enveloping bodywork, to compete in the new series.
