New London, VA

Originally built on the outskirts of Lynchburg, VA in 1957 as a 1/4 mile dragstrip.

If correct Open House.

Edit: Was surprised how many sites there are moaning "lost dragstrips" . Learned the term from your clue today.... .

Edit 2: The word I was thinking was mourning, but maybe all the same....
