1967 SCCA Grand Prix Championship


The 1967 SCCA Grand Prix Championship season was the inaugural season of the Sports Car Club of America's championship series for open-wheel, single-seat formula cars, later to be known as the SCCA Continental Championship. The 1967 championship was open to SCCA Formula A, Formula B and Formula C cars, which were limited to a maximum engine displacement of 3.0 liters, 1.6 liters and 1.1 liters respectively.
In June 1967 the SCCA decreed that, from 1 January 1968, cars powered by production-based engines of up to 5 litre displacement would be eligible to compete in Formula A and thus for the championship.
