According to their web site they have deactivated a portion of their units, are installing a a Sound Wall barrier and will convert to immersion cooling.  Are those things not true?

When I was a kid my home town built a "community support" race track at the fairgrounds.  Then the community support turned into people complaining about the the noise Stock Car's make.  Sounds like it could be a similar situation.

Was it the original people or did the neighborhood demographics change? I have seen that a lot the old people want 'X' and years later when they sell the new people look at 'X' and try to get rid of it because they want 'Y'

Original People.  The track only operated 2 or 3 season's, if I remember correctly.  The neighborhoods were the same people, more or less.

Odd, usually it's demographics that change enough to make things list that happen.
Long Island is a prime example.

When it was all farms and a bunch of nothing there were a lot of tracks. Now, 1 is left.

Makes you wonder with things like Formula E https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_E and MotoE https://www.motogp.com/en/motoe such if racing with electric vehicles will be more acceptable to local residents since it is basically silent.
