I'm not sure how fast he was going
skipper, but I do know he sure stirred up a lot of interest with the law enforcement folks. I was watching the high speed chase on...
All America...All The Time!. I decided to follow the action so I hopped into my nearly authentic
AMC Pacer Pursuit Cruiser to catch up to the action. My ol'
Chrysler was in the shop.

Your guy was driving that
'59 Ford for all it was worth...according to the reporter in the helicopter, your guy was probably doing 75 mph or better...blew the head right off each one of those
tall boy Pepsi-Cola cans in the back.
It took me a fairly long time to catch up with them...it being after 5pm and a Tuesday, of course, I had to stop at the
Sonic in Dodge City and get 5 burgers for $5. What a deal! Those burgers slowed me down plenty...along with those two large
Coconut Cream Pie Shakes.

I caught up with them in Cimarron on US Route 50. They had your guy out of the truck and the truck was cordoned off...they called in a
Haz Mat team...something about not knowing if it was really
Pepsi-Cola or not in those cans.

One of the policemen asked if I knew anything about the
Pepsi-Cola driver. I said he was a friend of the
skipper. He said that was good enough for him. He then asked me to try and pick your guy out of a
line up...a real police
line up...not the baseball kind.

It was really, really hard to do...most
Pepsi-Cola drivers look pretty much the same ...I went with the guy third from the left...is that your guy
skipper?
