And the houses will continue to get closer...the land will become worth more if it is sold for development than if they use it as a race track....
And the new home owners will complain some more....and the track will decide to sell out rather than try and address the various complaints, whether or not the complaints ar real or imagined....
Most folks don't follow or support racing, and have little or no interest in tradition or history in something that doesn't involve them...or their interests.... and eventually another race track with a storied history will bite the dust.....
