    Default Man's racetrack driveway revealed on Google Maps






    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
