I know what you are saying about the "Don't beleive everything you read"
However, If they make the decel lane a 2% grade, I dont see that track ever being anything more than an 1/8th mile. To convert to a 1/4mile track, they would have to tear up the decel lane and redo another 660' that would be level. Then of course, extend the decel lane a decent amount . Now, if the decel lane were going to be level, I could see them converting, but who knows. At least they are doing it in all concrete!
