Yeah, I'm in Tokyo right now, so I wanted to see if it was possible to join a race or two

It just depends where you are. Tokyo sucks during the day, but many parts of Tokyo are easy to drive around in at night.

Are there any legal races, on tracks etc?

Thanks for the answers anyway, I appreciate.

Yes, 60km/h would be shitty. That's why it's 60M/h. Read more carefully. :|

As MMM said, highway speeds are typically 80kph. The signs are electronic though, and can be lowered when the weather is bad.

The highways which run through metro Tokyo are very twisty, and the lanes are narrow. Fun to drive on (when traffic is light), but there is very little room for error.

I recently heard that they are still running (drifting) on Mount Rokko, which is near Osaka. Good luck.
