Same over here in UK, just 1 racetrack left now, with developers constantly trying to buy up the land around it. Luckily the track owner for 30 + years is a real car guy and fights them every time, but he's not getting any younger.
My local track which had been there for over 40 years,went about 3 years back, for £42 million to housing developers. 3500 new houses being built there- they're calling it an eco village- even though all the local residents were up in arms over it because of the tiny roads already being congested to a standstill most days - the local council still approved it.
If there's that much money being 'invested',then there's no stopping it.
