In 1970, Bobby Isaac drove the #71 Hemi-powered car in 47 races to 28 top ten finishes and 11 victories and a Grand National Championship. Isaac's finish to a great season came at Talladega when he broke Buddy Baker's 200 MPH record, also set in a Dodge Daytona. Isaac's speed was 201.104 MPH. In November, 1971, at the Bonneville Salt Flats, Isaac set 28 Land Speed Records in four days, including a top speed of 217.368 for the 'flying kilometer.' Many of the records set by this car still stand today.
