I'm thinking it will be similar in setup to Summit Point and not as country club as VIR. Should be good if hidden enough in the woods to not further anger the 100 or so protesters that walked out after the vote. Expect lengthy delays due to zoning lawsuits from residents.

I live in New Kent so I'm familiar with the situation and area. The track is in the eastern part of the county so if you're in Chesterfield, VMP will be closer...although DragonsRidge is a road course, not a drag strip so it really wouldn't matter much anyway. Its good to see New Kent slowly expanding, it should bring in some decent businesses.

Try 1 hour to go to New Kent from VA beach, it's about 10 miles past Williamsburg. I was hoping it would have a drag strip seeing as it's only 15 minutes away from where I live.
