As a person who is hoping to join the non ped racing scene next year, I'm afraid the thread is putting me off a bit. i know nothing about non ped racing or the way it is run. please some one tell me it's not always this intense, with people falling out.

I love looking at the photo's and wish i was there, but seriously having a rethink at the moment. :unsure: Diane

It's not always this intense, or people falling out all the time :clown: Most people get on ok, but there will always be competition. Dont let it put you off, it's no different to any other sport people want their dogs to do well, some just a bit more than others :- " :blink: Racing whippies is fab, well.........in the warm weather anyway!! Would be glad to give you any help we can ( altho only been racing for 2 years, so dont know what it's worth!!)

Thank you Chris, i think i am going to need all the help i can, but not for a while yet, my pup is only 10 weeks old, and still in Ireland at the moment. :thumbsup: Diane

We have our discussions and whilst they can get heated, the debate is usually constructive. Everyone ultimately wants to make racing safe, fair and enjoyable.

I think my BF summed it up best when he went to the English Derby party night, we're like one big family, we laugh, cry and bicker together but it's rare that any of us hold grudges. :thumbsup:

The World would be a boring place if we was all the same.

 

[gabbitas31]

Thanks Wild Whippies, I've learnt a lot just reading the post and some of it makes sense. but I'm sure by the time i begin to race my pup you will all be friends again. (w00t) I look forward to meeting you all. :thumbsup: Diane

I was just going to say how well this thread had been with regards to people putting their views forward without the falling out on some previous threads --we all have a point of view and an opinion on most aspects of racing --

most of the racing fraternity respect others points of view but not always agree with them and its good to air them in the correct manner without any back biting---

constructive criticism coupled with tolerance/respect for other peoples points of view-------are the order of the day ----NO NOT APRIL FOOL!!!!!!

respect is the word ---

don't let this or anyother topic put you off joining our non-ped racing, constructive debates go a bit over the top and allways stray off topic on here but out on the track were not a bad bunch, some more competative than others but on the whole everyone is friendly and more than willing to offer help to anyone in need owners and dogs new and old. We have some great camping weeks and weekends events where there is a brilliant social side to round off a good days racing

:luck: Welcome to our sport/hobby look forward to seeing your pup make its debut :luck:

THE RACING MANAGER

Rule 78 - Wide, Middle and Railer - definitions

A Greyhound classified as a seeded Wide Runner in a Graded Race or originally so classified in an Open Race under Rule 79(ii), indicated on the Racecard and published programme by a 'W' against its name or against the Trap Number it occupies, shall be a Greyhound which in the opinion of the Racing Manager is best suited to starting outside runners not so classified, across the course.

A Greyhound classified as a seeded Middle Runner in a Graded Race or originally so classified in an Open Race under Rule 79(ii), indicated on the Racecard and published programme by a 'M' against its name or against the Trap Number it occupies, shall be a Greyhound which in the opinion of the Racing Manager is best suited to starting on the inside of wide runners and outside of a Railer.

A Greyhound not defined in (i) or (ii) shall be classified as a Railer. A Railer is a Greyhound which in the opinion of the Racing Manager is best suited to starting on the inside of Middle and/or wide runners'.

just for you Maurice
