Speaking of the drug trade and Miami and IMSA racing.

IMSA racing in the 70's and 80's was drug money PERSONIFIED.
This anon can attest to the ridiculous amounts of money these people spent at a race track. After each session, not day, EACH 30 minute practice/qualy session his 2 march's were stripped and rebuilt.
John Paul Sr/Jr are another interdasting story.

T. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — Former race car driver John Paul Sr. pleaded guilty Wednesday to a state charge of attempted first-degree murder in the wounding of a federal drug witness.
After rejecting a plea-bargain agreement offered two weeks ago, Paul, 47, changed his mind five days before his scheduled trial date. The agreement calls for him to receive a sentence not to exceed 20 years in prison and for the state sentence to run concurrently with any sentences imposed against him later in federal court.
Circuit Judge Richard Weinberg delayed sentencing until after resolution of the federal charges, which include a count of running a continuing criminal enterprise that could carry a sentence of life imprisonment.
The state agreed to drop charges of attempted kidnapping, use of a firearm after conviction for a felony, and failure to appear for trial. Defense attorney Ed Garland had originally declined the plea-bargain agreement because of a dispute over the number of years Paul should serve, but attorneys declined to give details.
One of these guys fled to Puerto Rico because they thought it was not part of the United States. I think it was Lanier although the story does not state it. Talked to enough people in paddocks all over the world you hear the truth.
