-_- i think there should be four bends for the champs get some life back in to racing

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

​

cliff "the hot dogs" loves the bend racing, and the way hot pursuit was running the bend this year i can see the appeal (w00t)

Pity the closing date for items is past!!

We could have a Championships at Morton every weekend, with a different distance (ie start with a 10 yd dash and then add 10 yards until we run out of room). :lol: Then you would never have to worry about a bitch in season dates - because as soon as she was out of season there would be a championship.

Veteran Crowns at every other Championship - to give the Vets a rest. - alternate weeks. :blink:

No need for Rosette races as eveyone is bound to win one weekend.

At these rates you could leave issuing passports until a pup was 14 mouths old as there would be so many meetings not a problem if you missed the first 8 weeks of your pups running career.

The WCRA could start maiden racing during the weeks inbetween Vet racing - soon there would be no Maidens - so no problem with entry dates.

No need to change the Superstars rules over ads as there wont be any time for Opens - Think of the extra points your dog would win because the meetings are all Champs and not Opens. :blink:

WCRA could measure all entry weights and heights - unlikely to change in a week (time between Champs) but who knows? It would give then something to do!! )

If there were more than 4 dogs in a weight group we could add extra groups until there are only 4 runners (ie 16.1lbs, 16.2lbs, 16.3lbs, etc). this would eliminate the need for extra races - I never liked heats or semis - the FINAL is the main thing.

I think with this all the points on the agenda will be addressed!! :lol:

Additional Thought!!

- if clubs wanted to race they could run mid-week :lol:

What do you think? :clown: Happy Christmas :huggles:

Here's a link to the agenda items and rationales behind them

TALK-IN

Its a pdf file and takes a minute or two to download so be patient.

 

[Fenland]

Hi All (w00t) The talk-in will soon be upon us - again

Any body got any ideas for the agenda?

How about a longer straight ! )

I've been reading a lot about racing over 100 years ago - it seemed that the normal straight distance was 200 yards.

How about the first Champs being a straight !

With the winter months to consider - getting our dogs fit and the problems with finding a bend track at that time of the year. It would seem to me that we should start with a straight.

How about the return of Rosette races? :unsure:

We used to run this form of Consolation racing - if would give some of the less able runners a chance - not compulsery - only if you wish. At the very least it would give you two runs for your money.

How about 3 wins before your whippet is a Champion!

Would it be a step towards getting RCh added to pedigrees by the KC. :blink:

This is a chance for you to get something you feel is necessary heard. By the committee and discussed by the racers. 8)
