Description:
My Formula 5000 - a site devoted to all drivers, cars and race events conducted in North America from 1967-1976.
In 1967, a nationwide racing series was inaugurated by the Sports Car Club
America that was to lead to the first true American road racing formula, a formula that was quick to be adopted worldwide.
The series began as the SCCA Grand Pix Championship for open wheel, single-seat
racers of foreign origin called Formula B and C cars, the engine size determining the class.
In 1968, American-manufactured 5-liter (305
cubic inch), stock block V8 engines were introduced, although the series was still open to Formula B and C machines.
Thus was born the first American road racing formula. The series, titled the Continental
Championship, mushroomed to 13 events in 1969.
