Description: "Set in the 1980s Florida of Miami Vice, this is the ... 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"--

Review Quotes: "A great read, equal parts true crime, business story, and Shakespearean tragedy as Lanier's compulsion to learn how good he could be on the track led him to clandestine offshore meetings, Swiss banks and the jungles of Colombia....It reads like a carefully researched novel, packed with confrontations, incredibly detailed capers and hair's-breadth escapes....From its peaks to devastating lows, Lanier's story is an enthralling tale of love, dreams, a family torn apart, devastation and redemption."--Detroit Free Press
