Here is what the organizer Ken Takahashi has to say about the event:

Hello everyone, Ken here…. For some of you might remember me as “Ken” from Motorex, or “Ken” the guy how brought C-West & Uchi, or “Ken” from Best Motoring aka “American Touge” or finally “Ken” one of the Formula D judge. Either Ken you know you probably know me. And I probably know many of you guys too….

That’s why I’m happy to announce to you guys 1st the launch of my new event “American Gymkhana”. With the support and advice from some Japanese manufactures & Drift Association were bringing one of Japan’s most popular and oldest grassroots motorsport. History has proven the most successful are the events that were started by the “people” like Import drags started from street racing, Hot Import Nights started from car clubs hanging out at night, and Drifting…. Well need I say more?

Well, I encourage you guys to come out and try it. It will be fun, it’s like time attack meets drifting in autocross. Short course & you will get time slips challenging your fellow drivers. You can run with your Scion, Fit, Subaru, G35 pretty much anything except SUV’s and you don’t have to driving 100 out into the boonies to run. You don’t have to have a FR (rear wheel drive) car to have fun in Gymkhana, All-wheel drive and mid-ships are fine too. Were going to be right next to Irvine Spectrum. Our event is going to be on March 31st (Saturday) at El Toro. So, please visit my site www.gymkhanausa.com register to run (price is for all day) and please support the cause.

“Let’s build something together”

Thanks,
Ken

You spend money on the car for a reason

Not to hang out in parking lots!

Nah I'm just playin, I don't mean it seriously, but driving a car hard at the track is fun!

TheSquidd · 02-28-2007, 02:14 PM

120$ for Gymkhana, this makes me assume I won't need to work the track for that price?

What kind of seat time are you looking at?

Very very interested. I'll see how my budget works out for this.

RPS13FREAK · 02-28-2007, 02:36 PM

Damn, interesting...so the setup with be for drift and grip, but it's whoever has the best time? i bet it's going to turn into a drift vs grip battle.

ZX88 · 02-28-2007, 02:56 PM

I had the same question in regards to seat time

But I assume it should move pretty fast even though its 60 people, since there are two run courses going at the same time, and its only one time through

And you always have the dudes who don't run a full day, so that opens up more time

Werd. I believe I'd be in Unlimited class for no CAT and motor swap. Gay city.

120$ is a shiat load... thus the seat time question. I hear in JPN you get like, 4 runs in a day (but their gymkhana events cost like 25-50$)

I'd hope that there would be more than 4 runs

I'd be so sad if that was the case

I'll try to see if I can find the answer
