The SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) has run their autocross program for many, many years. It's a timed event that is usually run in a large parking lot and emphasizes handling over speed. The courses are laid out with cones, feature a lot of turns, a slalom, speeds rarely get over 60 mph, and a whole run usually takes about a minute to complete. Depending on your class and the number of entries, 4-5 runs are typical, and your best time is recorded. Quickest time in your class wins. I think it's generally a lot of fun, and one of the best ways to develop good car control.
I keep thinking something similar for motorcycles would be awesome. Moto Gymkhana is a thing in Japan, but I've never seen anything like it in the United States, and am not familiar with any organizations that run one. Has anyone done or seen something like this locally? Even outside the US, I'm curious if this is something going on anyplace besides Japan. If so, who organized it and how was it? Do you think there would be interest?
