    Default Autobahn Garage

    Autobahn Garage is the ultimate trackside man cave that Don Esbjornson, Mike Newlander, some other partners and myself built on turn N7 at the Autobahn Country Club. This is one of the best lots on the track, providing spectacular views of the track, including the start/finish line. Sometimes called the "Big House", our garage is the largest at the track, the only one with 3 stories, and two levels of outside decks. There is a drink at the clubhouse named after our garage, 1/2 Lemonade 1/2 Red Bull. Very refreshing between track sessions.

    Here's my GT3 and some of my partners cars parked in back of the garage.


    Front side of the garage where we were all watching the Autobahn Gradprix this year.


    Inside the garage, some rare pictures with all the cars outside...




    As my partners like all things fast, there are always different rides parked in the garage...




    We have 3 'hopped-up' carts for getting around the track.


    2nd floor lounge






    Fully equipped office and conference room for "working" at the track.


    The wet bar.


    The poker room.




    The Kitchen.








    Driving suit rack in the locker room.
    There is no reset button.

    a bit off topic...but how does owning property at a track work? do you just outright buy the property and pay monthly dues similar to a hoa? or do you lease it?...I have been to a few tracks but never saw something like this.
    just looking for a generic answer...and pm if not to taste to answer here.

    That looks like a great place if you can bring yourself off the track.

    I've seen your pictures before, but they never get old. Absolute dream and done superbly. I don't want to even imagine the cost of something that scale.
