Northeast Division SCCA Formula A 1967
Fred Opert had qualified for the Runoffs in 1966 by using a Formula C car, only to be disqualified for being underweight. He was up to similar tricks in 1967, scoring nine points for being first in class at a National at Bryar in October where Vincent Tudisco was running his "Vindicator" Formula A car, thus making a class. Opert was driving a Brabham but nothing is known about it. He did not take up his invitation to the Runoffs.
Sharing the title with him was Chuck Kirkbride, who had a Lotus 18/21 with 1.5-litre Climax FPF engine. He did take up his invitation to Daytona and won the Formula A class.

Northeast Division sources
Most of our knowledge of NEDiv racing comes from the SCCA's Sports Car magazine and from Competition Press & Autoweek. We are very keen to acquire or borrow 1960s, 1970s and 1980s copies of SCCA regional publications from this Division. These include:
- Pit Talk (New England Region) - full archive available at pittalk.org
- The Drift (Steel Cities Region)
- Knock Off (Mohawk Hudson Region) - full archive available at mohud-scca.org
- Regional Review (New York Region)
- Spark Plug (Glen Region)
- The Bulletin (North Carolina Region - full archive available at ncrscca.com.
- The Spokesmen (Philadelphia Region)
- The Straightpipe (Washington DC Region)
- Top End Magazine (Finger Lakes Region)
Three regionals have scanned all copies of their newsletters and made them available online: New England Region's 'Pit Talk', Mohawk Hudson Region's 'Knock Off', and North Carolina Region's 'The Bulletin'.
Additionally, Racing Magazine was published as a Lime Rock track magazine.
We are also keen to get scans of entry lists from SCCA Nationals in this Division.
