The Whittington brothers that were involved in pot smuggling and race cars bought Road Atlanta race track since one of the straightaways was conveniently long enough to land an airplane loaded with whatever. They would fly two planes close together and one would inbound to ATL and the other peel off to the race course.

Great story, just a little too long! The prior 2 CC movies were about the right total length each.
I didn't realize that "the boys" were still going into the 90s. Sal got the same treatment as El Chapo, Gotti and Kramer.........throw everything at them until you get locked up for life. Sal seems to be having some mental issues in prison from all the solitary confinement time if you google him in current events. Willie Falcon got off easy and moved on hopefully to a better life.

“Feds kept saying 75 tons of cocaine. (Laughs) We kept accurate books. Pretty sure we moved close to 175 tons.”
I was hoping this was an actual show series, but it is a documentary as someone above mentioned. I have watched 3 segments so far, and will continue just because. So far, I liked the Original Cowboy documentary better.

Watched it on the plane to Colorado and back, crazy stuff! I had forgotten the last brother had been caught recently too. Didn't realize the one guy was still running boats too (don't want to give it away). Cool none the less, even Pitbull's opening song is cool!
