Plans To Build New Track
DINWIDDIE - With the Virginia Motorsports Park set to host their final NHRA Virginia Nationals this weekend, they are beginning to look ahead to future events at the park.
VMP announced that they will be building another track on their property in Dinwiddie.
It will be a 2.5 mile road course that will be similar to the Virginia International Raceway in Danville and courses like Watkins Glen in New York.
The track will be used for testing and racing circuits and would be closer to the population than Danville.

Listen, I know its a long shot, but if it happens should be cool. Not a very informative article either, most people are on the ill believe it when I see it boat. But they do have other offerings, besides drag racing, and with the NHRA leaving, they are gonna need another large source of revenue. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.virginiamotorsportspk.com/">http://www.virginiamotorsportspk.com/</a><!-- m -->
 So then we'd have three tracks within driving distance?
I think I'ma quit school and become a professional track rat.
Now: 07 Porsche Cayman S | 18 VW Tiguan
Then: 18 VW GTI Autobahn | 95 BMW M3 | 15 VW GTI SE | 12 Kia Optima SX | 2009 VW GTI | 00 BMW 540i Sport | 90 Mazda Miata | 94 Yamaha FZR600R | 1993 Suzuki GS500E | 2003 BMW 325i | 95 Saab 900S
If they can pull it off it will be MFN' awesome. What I'd really like to see is for them to make a course that is FIM spec so maybe one day they could vy for a WSBK or Moto GP round but I know that's a long shot given who they'd be competing against (Barber, Laguna, Miller). One can hope though.

Im still waiting for Dragons Ridge 
Im too jaded to hold my breath, but an existing motorsports facility that already has the land definately has the greatest chance of success.

Supposedly Atlanta Motorsports Park is gonna get completed though.

The Dragonsridge Motorsports Park was approved as a Planned Unit Development in 2004. The improvements to Stage Road are a part of the project, and have been completed. As of this writing, no improvements have been made to the Dragonsridge property. A Planned Unit Development has no expiration date.
