The 1970 SCCA Continental Championship was the fourth annual running of the Sports Car Club of America's professional open wheel racing series.[1] The championship was open to Formula A cars,[2] with both 305 cubic inch "stock block" V8 engines and 183 cubic inch "free design" engines being permitted in that category.[3] For the first time in the history of the series, drivers competed for the L&M Championship Trophy and a share of a $40,000 prize fund.[4] The championship was won by John Cannon driving a McLaren M10B Chevrolet.[2]
The SCCA also organized a separate Continental Championship for Formula B cars.[3]
