South East Division SCCA Formula B 1970

Hugh Kleinpeter took his third successive Formula B title in SEDiv, his 1969 Chevron being sufficient to beat the similar car of Jim Grob. Noel McGlothlin, Competition Chairman of the tiny Chattanooga Region, finished third thanks to an early-season second place behind Kleinpeter in his rarely-seen Brabham BT21C.

We are also keen to get scans of entry lists from SCCA Nationals in this Division.
