MIAMI (IfPI) — The world of -nock car racing wasrackedThursday by a SaM-milliaa-a-year drug smuggling scandal that federal
undercover agents said involved 7D persons, including 4 drivers.
Agents said many of the mechanics whose skills kept slock cars
screaming around the nation's tracks used those same skills to tune
high speed powerboats that ran marijuana and cocaine in from the
—Bahamas.
.
Seventy people were named in indictments issued by federal
grand juries in Miami and Raleigh. N.C., Feb. 9 and unsealed
Thursday. The indictments said there were four separate groups
within the loose-knit ring.
The 2*4-year federal investigation resulted Thursday in the arrest
of more than 50 of those indicted. They were charger" with numerous
drug law violations, including importation and conspiracy. Officials
said more indictments are expected.
FBI Agent Joseph V. Corless identified the kingpin of the ring as
Bruce "Pee Wee" Griffin, 43-year-old Miami racer who entered, but
did not race, in last Sunday's Daytona 500.
The other stock car drivers arrested acted as "supervisors" for
small smuggling rings and reported back to Griffin. Corless said.
They were identified as Gary Balough. 34, who finished 11th in the
Davtona 500; Billie Harvey* 3Z, who finished 3»th in the same race^.

U.S. Assistant Attorney Bruce Kritzer said "many of those arrested were mechanics who worked for the drivers.
"These men are adroit at using their hands and because they
knew how to fix race cars, they also knew how to fix the vessels that
were used in the operation," he said.
The smuggling operation dealt primarily in marijuana but the inAUctments said cocaine was also imported. The marijuana, purchased m Colombia, was taken to the Bahamas, where the ring picked it

They ran a service organization for people who wanted »o buy

"They would offload mother ships in the Bahamas and then bring

The organization used boats of all sizes in its smuggling opera

PLATTSBURGH - The Oneonta
State Red Dragons are in exactly
the position that Norm Law hoped
his Plattsburgh State cagers would
U> it ft lilt; im<> vi „><«»«< t>u ti(<
best laid plans...
Earlier in the season Law described Oneonta's team as, "basically
just like us (PSUC),": a young team
lacking in experience. But the
results have been different.
The Red Dragons struggled
through six losses in the first
semester but haye turned things
around in the second semester,
dropping only three games in that
span, what it all adds up to is trouble for the Plattsburgh State Cardinals.
The Cards take to the road for two
games this weekend in their last
major road trip of,the season. After
taking on Oneonta tonight at 8 p.m.,
they travel to Utica to tackle Utica
Tech in an 8 p.m. Saturday night
contest.
The biggest difference between
Oneonta's 12-9 record and PSUC's 516 mark has been the breaks. While
the Red Dragons won a triple overtime game against Potsdam State
and a quadruple overtime game
against Binghamton State, the
Cards have been losing close game
after close game for nine losses in
their last 10 games, but only one by
more than 10 points. Sometimes the
breaks never even out.
The Cards have been playing
some of their best basketball of the
season in the past week, but they
have been unable to pull the upset
string, losing to Hamilton College
and Potsdam State after beating
Binghamton State by two.
