denali Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 It looks like a remote control car! That one at the end in the second link made up a fair bit of ground! I was just wondering the other day if they still raced whippets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering the other day if they still raced whippets. ooh yes, it's actually having a bit of a resurgence now that whippets are becoming more popular again and of course because of the internet, word travels easier and wider so lots of people are finding out about it. Probably will never get to the days in the 20's and 30's when they had midweek night races with the results printed in the paper, but then it was probably not just pet people like it is now.

Yes let's hope it stays that way and can maybe set an example for other racing (optimistic I know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 Amateur whippet racing has been going on for many decades, I dont think it's going to become professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
