The state of mind that racing had put me
0:03
in was trina
0:08
I put my own team together and end up going
0:10
to India. It will be white and father
0:12
and Randy Lanier's cap, his name Rookie
0:14
of the Year. As much as Porsch wanted to spend,
0:16
I can spend and not. I had
0:19
plenty of sponsorship coming right from Columbia,
0:21
all right. By the early eighties,
0:23
a river of pot was flowing from Columbia
0:26
to the United States. Attorney General
0:28
Jim Smith is drug smuggling the number
0:30
one industry in Florida. Drug smuggling is
0:32
probably the number one industry in our country,
0:35
and it came in by the barge load thanks
0:37
to a drug kingpin who was hiding in
0:39
plain sight, Randy Lanier. He will start
0:42
this race in the second row. I must a
0:44
race because I was doing loading.
0:46
How big was the load with him? Pounds?
0:49
How much was that worth? Forty four million
0:51
books? I'm Amy Driscoll and I'm Alex
0:53
Harris. As Florida continues its drive toward
0:56
full legalization of marijuana,
1:01
The Miami Herald and McClatchy Studios take
1:03
you inside the stunning rise of a racing
1:05
prodigy he's still the same dad to me,
1:08
just accomplished a lot
1:10
more than than others.
1:12
In the fall of an empire. I was living like
1:14
the family life, racing life, smuggle
1:16
of life. Yeah, I'll keep most
1:18
upward and then from there you go
1:21
right into the wall Randy
1:24
Law. There against the wall we see visible
1:26
evidence of the federal commitment to the war
1:28
on criminal drug smuggling in South
1:30
Florida. DA's expertise was
1:33
to identify organizations and then
1:35
try and take them out. The rest of your crews are
1:37
there. That car is totally destroyed.
1:39
I was sentenced to the remaining balance
1:42
of my natural life for we. For
1:44
we, they've never found a tale of
1:47
speed. Indeed, there was two guys
1:49
always there that weed.
1:52
I was the architect of our states, mari Wanta
1:54
laws that those laws need to change,
1:57
and the road ahead being in cultivation.
2:00
I think it doesn't have very much to do with
2:02
my dad. Punished companers do
2:04
he got it. Let's go on. Our generations
2:07
gotted to be on the right line of pastory
2:09
on that issue. Everybody changes,
2:11
Everything changes, right
