Southern Pacific SCCA Formula B 1971
The final points table for 1971 was not published in Sports Car at the end of the season so all that is known so far is that the following drivers qualified for the Runoffs:
| 1. | Ron Dykes | Brabham (BT29) | CSCC | 36 pts |
| 2. | Bill Middleton | Lola T240 | CSCC | 27 pts |
| 3. | Thomas Kornell | Brabham (BT29) | CSCC | 25 pts |
Dykes had qualified won the title by winning a number of races in Dick Doherty's Brabham BT29 early in the season but he actually attended the Runoffs with the March 71BM that he had used in the Pro series later in the year.
The last information available is from about four weeks before the end of the season and gives some idea of the amount of late-season activity, notably the surge from Bill Middleton who had replaced his aged Brabham BT21C with a new Lola T240.

Southern Pacific Division sources
Although Los Angeles was one of the homes of American motor racing, we have few sources of information for southern Californian FB racing in this period. Competition Press & Autoweek had some regional coverage up to 1973 and Formula magazine then took over for a period in the mid-1970s. However, we are keen to acquire or borrow 1960s, 1970s and 1980s copies of SCCA regional publications from this Division. The key ones are:
- California Sportscar [1960s] (California Sports Car Club)
- Post Grid [1969-1970] (California Sports Car Club Region)
- Finish Line [from 1971] (California Sports Car Club Region)
- Gridlines (San Diego Region)
We are also keen to get scans of entry lists from SCCA Nationals for this division.
