Don't know who makes them, but there are some here.
We tend to buy ours from racers who "dabble" in supplies.

Dog sled racing with whippets instead of huskys.
The way forward.
I've already started making mine. Demoished a garden fence panel, strapped on a white plastic chair.
I'm going out now.
I may be gone some time.
Viewpoints tend to be coloured by the type of dog a person generally has.
For many years I raced heavy (for their size) show breds who couldn't win 150 yards even at yard/lb. Fortunately the club did do a variety of different handicaps which allowed us to win other races, but it was a long time...
Done my best with the info I had. Please feel free to add any missing dates and correct mine!

Billy ran straight.
Straight at a passing terrier and tried to eat it! Fortunately the owner was quite unphased by it - not sure if the terrier was (w00t)
Sarny and tea in the car park and back home again - happy days :D
Hi Chris - Harvel will affiliate again, but the Open will be completely Open. i.e. open to all dogs with either a WCRA or NPWRA passport.
This was discussed at length but decided overwhelmingly to keep it as last year.
Hi Carol
Please book Billy in.
I'm suffering with a chest infection at the moment but I'm hopeful of being fit enough to attend on Sunday :)
Tell Ray thanks for the info about dogs and pigs - they had lamb chops instead!
I'll be spending it trying to discover Billy's optimum weight! He has raced at all weights between 21lb and 24lbs and I can make a case for all of them.
Obviously HE would prefer to be 26lb but then he'd have to go showing :)
