track death has nothing to do with political leaning. It has everything to do with how expensive it is to live in a given are.
If your area has a high cost of living, you can bet any existing tracks are in the process of being shut down ... if not outright, then by ever more strict rules until they do.
Also, yes, the car enthusiast / gearhead hobby is dying. Cars are shifting ever more into a "user" role than an ownership role with the cost of really owning your car increasing exponentially if it's even possible at all due to software you can't modify without venturing into the grey area of reverse engineering / circumventing protection mechanisms. That along with anecdotal stories of insurance companies cancelling your insurance when they find out you tracked your car is plenty to scare people away from the track. So who would invest in new ones with the existing ones not doing great even when they're not being shut down?
btw, jersey would be a crap hole whether it was neutral, left or right. It's always been a crap hole. It's filled with people who can't afford to live in new york city or philadelphia. The political offices are the reference material for any tv show/ movie with corrupt ex-mob-like politicians.
