I have heard many a tale from Sedgebrook - this was one of the first tracks mum and dad ran at with the their first whippet Flash Past (15/16lb's), the inter club matches were a 'big' thing in them days, i think pity we lost this sort of thing - maybe i might have to work on this one I wonder if any clubs would be interested ????

Nice one, sounds good to me :thumbsup:

Do think some of the old running things could possibly help bring more back to racing, even at club level used to be fun when we raced and had pairs racing and such like, if a good dog drew with a dog with lesser speed, or two average dogs drew together used to make for a good fun event Sorry i'm ranting about the good old days again - fear age has caught me up :clown: no smart comments please, at my age i could easily get offended :clown:

i was round about 4/5 when i was tooken to old kirkcaldy club,,about 28/29years ago,,,i remeber it well,,the track starting line was near where the toilets and showers are,,,and they had electric traps back then,,,,,then we raced at polbeth / dundee / arbroath / and somtime,s went to killwinning,,,,and my 1st highland derby was in 88 , i thought, back then it was the best holiday ever ,,,,,i also remember when BBC did a program at kirkcaldy,

i left whippet racing when i was racing at arbroath,,,,and became a gamekeeper instead,,,and worked with gundogs,,,,came back to whippets in 2005
