The team that led the “Save Palm Beach Raceway” campaign has now transitioned their efforts to creating a new facility, the Atlantic Farms Motorsports Park.

My guess is with them planning a drag strip that's not the route they are taking.
The description makes it sound more in the direction of a motorsports country club like AMP, which seem to be growing in popularity. Still, AMP has plenty of events that hosted by 3rd parties and are open to the public, and they're starting to do more actual racing there too (Lucky Dog this weekend).
