It was a glorious day with bright sunshine and temperatures in the low twenties, the Independent Bend Open took place on the 7th of September with 4 weight groups running round the 240 yard bend, plus veterans running over a 150 yard straight. Many thanks to Ray for constantly watering the track...
Ray and co. have been working hard to ensure that the Independent track is perfect for Sunday's NPWRA Championship. The entire track will continue to be watered, night and day to ensure an excellent running surface for the dogs from the trap end to the finish.
On the day there will be a pool...
Many thanks to Ray and Dave for preparing the 240 yard bend track and for a good day's racing, despite the weather. Here are some near-the-line photos of the finals:
