how do I start the dogs racing (for fun)?

they are 7 months and 18 months old

there is no whippet or lurcher racing in my area, just greyhounds (and I don't know the greyhound people, though I see them walking their dogs)

Occasionally there are agricultural shows not so far away, so I might want to enter my lurcher in the lurcher races, and my whippet too if he's allowed. So how do I prepare them for these occasional events

and what would be your general advice to any new, prospective race-dog owner?
 
What area do you live in? Might be an idea to try and get down to your nearest track & have a watch of the racing - non ped people are always helpful when newcomers come along to join the club, i'm sure someone will give you some pointers and have a few trials with your dogs.
