Track Information
Located just south of Lynchburg, VA, New London Dragstrip was originally built as an NHRA sanctioned, 1/4 mile racing facility in 1958. Since then, New London has added airport operations and, as the car have gotten faster, has been shortened to an 1/8th mile track. New London has a 40 foot wide asphalt track with a concrete launching pad stretching past the 60 foot mark. With a total track length of 3200 feet, there is plenty of shutdown area for even the fastest cars. The track's elevation is 849' MSL.
Beginning April 29th 2007, we will provide a wireless internet zone covering the pits for anyone wishing to bring their wireless capable laptop to access the internet during the race.
We have installed two sets of win lights for each lane - one set is just off the track surface beyond the finish line to be easily viewed by drivers and one set is on the guard rail for spectators. We also added a dial-in display board at the start line so that drivers can confirm their dial-in prior to each elimination run.
PMZ Racing Products of Lynchburg, VA will be supplying the track with VP 110 race fuel.
