I think I saw a straightaway. I'll know once the dizzy feeling goes away from all the turns. I like the uphill blind off camber turn. It would be a tough track to Instruct at.

I believe the owner is the son of Ziggi Wilzig who founded the Trust bank that was acquired for a gizillion dollars. Talk about winning the womb lottery.

Pretty cool to build a track at your weekend retreat. He's got a bunch of motorized toys at his complex.

This is not Alan Wilzig's track.

No, nothing to do with Wilzig. He's in Columbia County.

That is correct. Wilzig is our weekend neighbor. Never been invited to his house.

I give the individual behind NYST lots of credit for getting as far as he has. The politics of any race track in the Northeast can be messy. In the video the track looks too narrow for cars. At this point it is marketed primarily as a bike track, which is not a bad niche considering that LRP and WGI do not allow bikes. Nonetheless they will have to bring safety up to snuff or have medevac on permanent stand by.

Looks like they may not allow cars on in the future:
