Default Private Racetrack In His Backyard
Okay, we've all heard or seen pictures of the driveways of some gearheads who add a couple chicanes and a couple sweepers to their driveway and say they built a race track.

Alan Wilzig....THIS guy built a race track.

IMO, watching this video is a great way to spend 20minutes of your Friday Yay capitalism!

that would be a dream. I do wonder what's on the other side of the upper banking though, if a guy goes off there. Very cool, thanks for posting.
