Would this be a commercial track or a private track? How many bikes are you looking to accommodate?

i'd like to provide a place for kids and others to practice. this is in an area where the nearest mx practice track is 100 miles away. so I guess it would be commercial. I'd like to have something around the size of Walden or Ace if you are familiar.

Well for a track and parking I'd think that you would only need 15 acres or so (5 for the track, 10 for parking). The problem, especially in NJ, will be buffer space. Because of noise and dust, I'd think you would need 100 or more acres. I'd suggest that you check with the local zoning officials.

Really depends on the natural features of the land and whether you'll have to bring in dirt or haul-out rocks. You'll also have to improve an area for parking/pits. I would think that construction costs for the track would be between $5,000 to $10,000 for the simplest layout.
Considering that you’ll need to do daily track maintenance, you will need to buy some heavy equipment such as a dozer and large bucket loader.
You have to give consideration to a watering system as well. This could cost more than the track itself.
