An interesting look at a police-officer-turned-street-racer

> Meanwhile, also in 1970, Godfrey Qualls was hired by the Detroit Police to work as a motorcycle officer in the area of Traffic Enforcement. His passion for motorcycles led him to install a trailer hitch assembly on his Dodge Challenger R/T as well, which was a fairly rare upgrade for the top street brawlers of the era. His role on the police force likely played a role in the sporadic street racing appearance schedule of The Black Ghost Challenger. Had Qualls gotten caught street racing, he would have likely lost his job, so he would hit the streets, do some racing and then tuck the car away in the garage until police attention would die down. Being a police officer, Qualls would have been familiar with any targeted enforcement of the street racing scene, so he would know when it was safe for him to race and when it was best for him to stay away. This was also why he made sure that no one in the local scene knew who was driving that unbeatable Dodge Challenger in the early-to-mid 1970s.
