As a kid, Randy Lanier dreamed of achieving four-wheel glory at the
Indianapolis 500, but knew he'd never be able to afford the most
expensive sport on earth. That all changed when he bought a
speedboat and began smuggling pot from the Bahamas. Fueled by what
would become a historically massive smuggling operation, he started
racing cars and became an overnight sensation. For Randy and his
teammates, money was no object, and bigger hauls meant faster cars.
At every event they attended, they were behind the wheel of the
best machinery, flaunting their secret in front of huge crowds and
live television cameras. But no matter how fast they drove, they
couldn't outrun the law. As Randy came ever closer to reaching his
dream of high-speed glory, one of the biggest drug scandals ever to
hit the professional sports world was about to unfold. Set in the
1980s Florida of Miami Vice, this is the unbelievable,
unforgettable, unparalleled story of an ordinary guy whose attempts
to become famous doing the thing he wanted most-become a world
class race car driver-devolved into a you-can't-make-this-up tale
of one of the biggest crime rings and drug scandals of the 1980s.
Now, with the help of New York Times bestselling author A.J. Baime,
Randy tells the whole truth for the first time ever, a gripping
narrative unlike any other, a sports story for the ages, and
shocking a true crime epic.
