Go to Google earth on this track.
Looks like it is more suited to housing than racing. Nice homes less than 1/4 mile from it on the water way and encroaching from the south.
I'm thinking the county commissioners see the same thing. Zoning and permits are all about highest and best use of property.

To date - no country using the metric system has landed a man on the moon.

All current space craft are built on the metric system. Try finding a 12 point 3/8 deep socket on the ISS.
