Dodge Performance rep, who asked him about his qualifications and
plans to race the car at a legal-track.
He said, the Dodge rep did not want any 'street racing hooligan' to get
his hands on a Max-Wedge S/SA and race it on the street.
It would give Chrysler a bad name.
He was also, told (asked), to get a Dodge Dealer to co-sponsor the car,
and get Dodge lettering and/or the dealership name on the car.
