  • EXCLUSIVE: ***NO NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, NO NEW YORK TIMES, NO NEWSDAY*** Some homeowners plant elaborate gardens. Others splurge on tennis courts or swimming pools. Alan Wilzig prefers something a bit racier. In the backyard of his 150-year-old Dutch Colonial-style home in the Hudson Valley town of Taghkanic, he has built a 1.15-mile-long, 40-foot-wide, bidirectional racetrack — heavy on the hairpin turns and smooth as a billiard table — designed for high-performance motorcycles and cars. “You’re going fast enough to make your ass pucker,” Wilzig, 52, told The Post. “The f– ing hairs on your neck stand up.” The lobster-claw-shaped course is the only personal-use, professional-quality private racetrack in the world, according to Wilzig. It boasts nine turns, 80 feet of elevation changes, grass-covered boundaries and FoamAir fences outside the corners to soften the impact of going off course. (There have been four accidents on the track but no injuries.) Wilzig, who once made headlines for having co-owned a castle in Water Mill, LI, with his brother Ivan, describes the track as a “field of dreams for motor sports.” The impetus for it came in the late 1990s after a motorcycle-riding buddy in the Hamptons nearly got killed by an automobile; the idea of street-riding became increasingly unappealing to Wilzig. “After 100,000 miles of around-the-world motorcycle-riding without incident,” he said. “I realized it was only a matter of time before somebody pulled out in a fancy car and hit me.” Wilzig financed his property purchase with cash from the sale of the Trust Company of New Jersey bank in 2004. Long controlled by Wilzig’s father, Siggi B., who died in 2003, it went for $726 million. In 2005, Alan took his cut of the profits and bought the 275-acre spread upstate for $3.35 million. “I bought this property with the intention of building a racetrack,” said Wilzig, who served as the bank’s CEO and now focuses primarily on philanthropy.

  • EXCLUSIVE: ***NO NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, NO NEW YORK TIMES, NO NEWSDAY*** Some homeowners plant elaborate gardens. Others splurge on tennis courts or swimming pools. Alan Wilzig prefers something a bit racier. In the backyard of his 150-year-old Dutch Colonial-style home in the Hudson Valley town of Taghkanic, he has built a 1.15-mile-long, 40-foot-wide, bidirectional racetrack — heavy on the hairpin turns and smooth as a billiard table — designed for high-performance motorcycles and cars. “You’re going fast enough to make your ass pucker,” Wilzig, 52, told The Post. “The f– ing hairs on your neck stand up.” The lobster-claw-shaped course is the only personal-use, professional-quality private racetrack in the world, according to Wilzig. It boasts nine turns, 80 feet of elevation changes, grass-covered boundaries and FoamAir fences outside the corners to soften the impact of going off course. (There have been four accidents on the track but no injuries.) Wilzig, who once made headlines for having co-owned a castle in Water Mill, LI, with his brother Ivan, describes the track as a “field of dreams for motor sports.” The impetus for it came in the late 1990s after a motorcycle-riding buddy in the Hamptons nearly got killed by an automobile; the idea of street-riding became increasingly unappealing to Wilzig. “After 100,000 miles of around-the-world motorcycle-riding without incident,” he said. “I realized it was only a matter of time before somebody pulled out in a fancy car and hit me.” Wilzig financed his property purchase with cash from the sale of the Trust Company of New Jersey bank in 2004. Long controlled by Wilzig’s father, Siggi B., who died in 2003, it went for $726 million. In 2005, Alan took his cut of the profits and bought the 275-acre spread upstate for $3.35 million. “I bought this property with the intention of building a racetrack,” said Wilzig, who served as the bank’s CEO and now focuses primarily on philanthropy.

(There have been four accidents on the track but no injuries.) Wilzig, who once made headlines for having co-owned a castle in Water Mill, LI, with his brother Ivan, describes the track as a “field of dreams for motor sports.” The impetus for it came in the late 1990s after a motorcycle-riding buddy in the Hamptons nearly got killed by an automobile; the idea of street-riding became increasingly unappealing to Wilzig. “After 100,000 miles of around-the-world motorcycle-riding without incident,” he said. “I realized it was only a matter of time before somebody pulled out in a fancy car and hit me.” Wilzig financed his property purchase with cash from the sale of the Trust Company of New Jersey bank in 2004. Long controlled by Wilzig’s father, Siggi B., who died in 2003, it went for $726 million. In 2005, Alan took his cut of the profits and bought the 275-acre spread upstate for $3.35 million. “I bought this property with the intention of building a racetrack,” said Wilzig, who served as the bank’s CEO and now focuses primarily on philanthropy.

  • Bethenny Frankel is seen here in a series of photos taken during her aid mission to Puerto Rico, which was ravaged by Hurricane Maria almost two weeks ago. The Real Housewives Of New York personality, who recently underwent surgery to remove skin cancer below her eye, has headed up a huge relief effort and chartered 10 planes to bring vital supplies to the island’s stricken inhabitants. Frankel, 46, and her friends personally paid for the planes - the first four of which she managed to negotiate a fee of just under $20,000. As well as bringing medical and food supplies, Frankel alongside The Global Empowerment Mission flew back dozens of wounded women and children and cancer victims from local hospitals so they could get treatment in the United States. The Skinnygirl founder has used the power of social media to help network and find doctors back in the U.S. who could help. She explained: “Twitter users literally saved babies lives by connecting me to a pediatric hospital allowing me to transport patients home [to the U.S.]. It is the most incredible tool in the world.” Talking of the devastation she’s witnessed on the U.S. territory island, Frankel said: “This is a forgotten island. People have been living on their roofs for 13 days. It is like nothing I have ever seen. Peoples entire homes and cars are immersed in mud the likes I've never seen.” The current death toll stands at 34, but is expected to rise as the humanitarian crisis continues. With an island-wide power outage and widespread lack of fuel, fears continue for residents on the island who need hospital treatment and regular care. Frankel went on: “There is no color on the island. Every palm tree is rooted. This bitch hit every inch of this island. The low death toll is only counting what happened when it hit, but a storm happens more gradually than a hurricane. “Now is when people are dying. They are starving. They are thirsty. They cannot communicate. They cannot bathe themselves. They

People have been living on their roofs for 13 days. It is like nothing I have ever seen. Peoples entire homes and cars are immersed in mud the likes I've never seen.” The current death toll stands at 34, but is expected to rise as the humanitarian crisis continues. With an island-wide power outage and widespread lack of fuel, fears continue for residents on the island who need hospital treatment and regular care.

  • Bethenny Frankel is seen here in a series of photos taken during her aid mission to Puerto Rico, which was ravaged by Hurricane Maria almost two weeks ago. The Real Housewives Of New York personality, who recently underwent surgery to remove skin cancer below her eye, has headed up a huge relief effort and chartered 10 planes to bring vital supplies to the island’s stricken inhabitants. Frankel, 46, and her friends personally paid for the planes - the first four of which she managed to negotiate a fee of just under $20,000. As well as bringing medical and food supplies, Frankel alongside The Global Empowerment Mission flew back dozens of wounded women and children and cancer victims from local hospitals so they could get treatment in the United States. The Skinnygirl founder has used the power of social media to help network and find doctors back in the U.S. who could help. She explained: “Twitter users literally saved babies lives by connecting me to a pediatric hospital allowing me to transport patients home [to the U.S.].
