Anybody have access to a nice open area that we could use for a Gymkana sometime?

I think it would be a great "Event"

I am busy tarring all the paving at my hotel and have been contemplating doing something like this. Stay tuned.

The thing is, funny enough, I was thinking of something like this.
I know inside the Waltloo testing grounds they have a wicked little track.
I might be able to get us to use that...

FROM WIKIPEDIA:


Gymkhana is a type of motorsport practiced in Canada, Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, and South Africa. Similar to autocross, gymkhana courses are often very complex and memorizing the course is a significant part of achieving a fast time.
Gymkhana events are time and/or speed events in an automobile. These can feature obstacles such as cones, tires, and barrels. The driver must maneuver through a predetermined "track" performing many different driving techniques. What separates gymkhana from traditional autocross events is that the gymkhana requires drivers to perform reversals, 180 degree spins, 360 degree spins, parking boxes, figure 8s and other advanced skills. Drifting is also encouraged where helpful or necessary. Essentially, a gymkhana is any event featuring a starting point, a finish line and some sort of "obstacle" to get through, around, or by, all within a time limit.

Always thought it would be awesome to have a meet & greet where we can set up a course (or a few) & do timed runs in a controlled environment. Will test our skills & make us learn new ones.
