You need to contact a Commercial Estate Agent, there are a few large companies who will deal with commercial property and land.
You may need to be a little more specific though with your request!

like north weald you mean?
try railtrack - they are always selling long thin sections of land (not 100m wide very often but it does happen).
things to consider;
safe access/agress
planning permission - the neighbours will love you!
other services - ie toilets, drainage, power etc etc
insurance, insurance, insurance
parking - unless you're on a bus route or near a train station (PPG15 Transport ??), in which case you should note this as a positive factor on your planning application!
good luck!!

So where are they going to queue, slow down, what will the access be like, will you get permission to use it for this etc? What will the neighbours to this strip of land think?

To be honest mate you've feckin no chance of aquiring such a piece of land without the big boys snapping it up first. even if you could i suspect it would cost millions of pounds (especially down London) an Acre of land (that you can build on) in my neck of the woods works out at 800-900k so imagine what london prices are like.
I had such a silly idea a few years back and my buddy buys land for a living laughed at me when i told him. He said you've no idea how hard land is to aquire.
As negative as i sound because i really think you've no chance whatsoever, i really hope you prove me wrong and suceed, we need more of this thing in the country

LOL.
You haven't allowed for the amount of land you'd need to support your venture - parking, access and safety.
1/2 mile long x 1/2 mile wide.
Enough to build 1000s of houses on. In London, that's worth 100s of millions of pounds.

And you'll need well over a 1/4 mile to allow for your 100 mph vehicles to stop!
You'll probably need realistically about 12 a mile ! Plus as others have said, car parks, planning permission, no neighbours etc!

What do you want it for? I can probably give you the landing runway for 50 secs between VS009 and BA014 around 3pm.

Building a runway on marshland is not an ideal foundation.

there is an old airfield in boreham (near xtreme scoobies), jsut outside chelmsford. i think ford own it and used to use it as a test track - that's the sort of thing you should be looking for.
