Tampa Police say James Maymi and Virgen Lopez raced each other on the Courtney Campbell Causeway, reaching speeds between 90 and 100 miles per hour.

The ride down the Courtney Campbell Causeway for James Maymi and Virgen Lopez ended with a trip to jail. Tampa Police spokesperson Andrea Davis says over the holiday weekend 29 year old Maymi and 23 year old Lopez were racing down the causeway with toddlers in their cars

Two people accused of drag racing on the Courtney Campbell Causeway early Sunday morning both had toddlers in their cars as they were driving, according to arrest reports.

Eastbound traffic on the Courtney Campbell Causeway is backed up for miles due to a water main break.

Hundreds of drag racing and car fans lined the track in Bradenton Saturday to watch Ross Racing Pistons 8th Annual NMCA Muscle Car Nationals.

Racing at speeds more than a 100 miles an hour can be described as an adrenaline rush, even for those whose jobs sometimes require high rates of speed.

Investigators with the Florida Highway Patrol are still looking for a driver who they say was drag racing another car that crashed Saturday afternoon, killing both people inside.

A major accident has blocked the eastbound lanes of the Courtney Campbell Causeway.
