Default Lucky fella has a racetrack... in his front yard!

"Oh hunny while you were on your two week cruise I turned the rose garden into a race track!"

In his front yard, this man built America's largest private racetrack

ow wow, I would never have to leave home, unless its to buy a new toy to race around the track. That track looks awesome with the banked curves

I wish I had money to blow like that.

That's really awesome! Definitely a benefit to having a BIG yard!

That is one epic collection of bikes. He's has tail fairing hanging on the wall, with working taillights.

Roadtrip anyone?

Me too. Though if you think about it, it's not "that" much money. If you have property all you need is a dozer and asphault. Haha

Think of how many tracks could fit in the Foxburg mansion's yard. Have you seen it is for sale? Link---> Clarion County mansion and its 1,500 acres are on the market for $24 million

This guy has amassed a huge fortune....luck has little to do with his ability to build himself a track. Now if I had his wealth, I would build a track too. Great idea!

Yea definitely. I dunno if I would even wanna build something quite that big though. Maybe just a nice sized parking lot, but spread over several hills and then just traffic cone out a different track every week lol. Of course a 1/4 mile drag strip alongside would just add icing on the cake
Of course, if you did build a track like that, you could rent it out for private events once in a while or even every weekend for that matter and still have all week to do what you want on it. That would at least pay for the upkeep and provide entertainment.
