History
Based in Clearwater Florida, Competition Components, Inc. produced a line of successful formula
cars designed by founder Eugene Beach. Particularly successful in Formula Vee, the firm produced the Type
11 first in 1967 as a Formula B/C car, the SCCA formulas at that time being similar for FIA Formula II/III.
In 1969 the by-then successful design was also produced as a Formula Ford.
