1969_Formula_5000_season
The 1969 SCCA Continental Championship was the third annual running of the Sports Car Club of America's professional open wheel racing series.[1] It was the first to carry the SCCA Continental Championship name as the previous two series had both been staged as the Grand Prix Championship.[1]
The 1969 championship was open only to Formula A cars.[2] Formula B and Formula C cars, which had competed with the Formula A cars in the previous two championships, were now given their own races at each event and competed for separate points.[2]
