From Drag Strips to Hill Country Dreams: Jason Michalak's Ranch Transformation
Jason Michalak, a former world record–holding drag racer, has traded the fast lane for the tranquil hills of Con Can, Texas — and he's doing it in style. What started as 750 acres of rugged, cedar-covered mountain terrain is now a thriving, family-friendly ranch complete with a custom-built lodge, exotic animals, and 30 miles of hand-built roads carved straight from the mountain.
Driven by childhood memories and a dream of building a gathering place for friends and family, Michalak has turned his Hill Country retreat into a year-round oasis — complete with an outdoor kitchen, arcade, hunting grounds, and stunning views of the Frio River. And yes, he still runs his 24/7 business, Pipeline Express, with help from a loyal team he considers family.
From clearing land in heavy machinery himself to raising 30 species of exotic animals, Michalak’s journey is as bold and hands-on as his days on the drag strip.
