You loved the crack with Gaz but he always got you in trouble with debs ...leading you astray lol

I like them both. Wish I had a bend dog though. The only open racer I have had a bad injery when she was a pup.(If she was a greyhound she would never race). But on the straight's she's ok. I've got 3 pup's. 1 out of a greyhound so hopefully I'll have something to run next year. :thumbsup:

I couldn't choose, the straights are great as it's usually summer, and the races themselves are fast paced action. I agree the weekend events are a great for meeting up and having a few beers, shame about Devon now. The bends are good as the outcome of a race can really change adding to the excitement, plus the fact your hobby keeps you occupied through the grim winter weekends. Oh and usually good hot food to warm you up!

We used to love the bend racing with Ross ( Crack O Dawn),,boy he could run the bends , we loved to stand at the wall watching the dogs going by and also get warm food into out tummy's, but since the death of BJ (Blue Tsunami) on the local bend track, we still have not set foot at a greyhound track

So our vote has to be the straights, and all our dogs will only run straight's. Im sure Ricky could have been a good bend dog, but we will never know :thumbsup:

Bends are good to watch, it's brilliant watching dogs who have excellent bend craft, i love the sound of the roar from the stand in a close final too, just a shame it's always bloody freezing.

I love the weekenders and the 10 days in Scotland and Devon but I think the atmosphere at a good bend open is hard to beat. We used to have some great caravan weekends at Kingsley stadium with Steve and Julie
