I wonder if that's Craig Duerson's house....I heard he had CIK curbing at his Florida home.

All I know for sure is that I want that at my place!

If you read all the replies down near the end Hayden Duerson posts saying it's his driveway. 23 second lap in an ICC. Alot of people posted saying it was listed in the tax records to a Daniel Duerson, I guess Hayden's dad.

Here's another www.drivewayaustin.com near Austin, Texas, rumor was it's part of Bill Dollahite's spread. Not sure of any truth to that part, the Google map satellite view doesn't show anything but trees. Maybe Google Earth is more up to date, I can't check that from this computer. Bill was a driver for Ferrari at some point is his career.

When I was 11-14 I had almost the exact same layout using old dirt farm/logging roads through the woods behind my folk's house. It was sort of like this road course since the roads connected on both ends and was surprisingly smooth. Only problem was pine needles would sometimes collect under the kart to the point they lifted the front end off the ground. I'd get out there with my Briggs Open on the Dart Meanmachine and have a blast. And the rackett that thing made through the woods was awesome. Then one day they started building houses on my racetrack Sad

Hopefully, in a few years, I can start work on my retirement place with a similar layout. That is if my 101Ks ever become 401Ks again Crying or Very sad
