canyon/mountain driving?

Typically its street racing where rather than trying to pass your opponent on a mountain pass, you simply just want to put more space between him and you.

Sounds like it's been hijacked for more legal events.

Yeah, AFAIK the closest you can come to doing it legally is driving on Ebisu circuit...

According to the description, I participated in one and didn't know it.

The last hill climb I ran. Coming down was more fun than going up.

The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix would probably be a ton of fun....

^Ah good point. A better way to describe touge: An illegal hillclimb which may also run downhill

Yep! Mountain racing in Japan. There are some entertaining videos on YouTube.

Yea a wheel-to-wheel downhill hillclimb would probably be very similar to the experience of toge.

Mullholland Drive and Tail of the Dragon are American touge, IMHO.

Also, if you want to be a cool guy, it's pronounced "toe-GAY"

Except in Canada, where it pronounced "touque, eh?"
