Autoblog...

Some motorsports fans fly a team flag just beneath the good 'ol red, white and blue, and the lucky/dedicated ones have a project car in the garage. One speed freak has taken his velocity fetish to the next level by foregoing the typical driveway for a front yard racetrack. We're not talking about a deformed circle drive, folks; this is a large course equipped with FIA curbs at every corner. The posh Florida home is right on the water, and features what appears to be a very large detached garage. We're not sure what he races here, but if you check out the lawn right next to the track, it looks like someone was doing donuts after winning the race. Now we know where we want to live when we grow up.

Definitely one of the top 5 things to accomplish in life. Either A) build a track around a large tract of property with house in the center or B) Live in one of the town homes on a track ie. VIR.

I nicknamed this place Winter Haven Heaven, lol! The article's photos don't show the huge lake behind the house.

I'm still trying to figure out the scale of the track, it appears it would be ideal for go-karts or possibly a Formula Mazda or Radical but may be too narrow for fun in a car...but considering the first time I ever drove an S2000 was speeding on a golf course cart path to park it on the green of a back hole before a tournament started, I'm going to say this may be just as exciting :tongue:

Geico: "And how did the accident happen Mr Johnson?"
Mr. Johnson: "I'm gonna need more than this little box to write that down"

Mr. Jonhson : "ah funny story"
Geico : "mmhmm"
Mr. Johnson "first off im the coolest person ever because i have my own racetrack" secondly as i was coming off the corner onto the backstraight i started to put the power down i look up and theres my wife in her F***N suv.
Geico: "Which vehicle are you wanting us to cover? the suv?"
Mr. Johnson: "hell no that dumb bitch was going the wrong way on the track. I want my racecar fixed."

LMAO
