The Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) classed the AMX in B Production for amateur competition, the same class as the Shelby GT350. An AMX scored second place in the 1969 SCCA national championship.[1] Dwight Knupp drove his AMX just 1 minute and 14 seconds behind a Corvette's winning average of 102.385 mph (165 km/h) on 30 November 1969, at the Daytona International Speedway with 16 cars in the B production class, and placed sixth overall out of the total of 28 A and B class cars competing in the race.[83][84] The two-seat AMX was never eligible for SCCA Trans-Am competition.
