==============
All Whippets must be registered with WRA, LGRA, AOK9 and/or NOTRA to enter this race meet. To register your Whippet with WRA, please go to the WRA website at www.whippetracing.org.
for whippets for NOTRA please visit http://www.notra.org
For other breeds please visit http://www.notraracing.org
Although registering hounds on the day of the meet is permitted under the organizations' rules, it adds to the day-of-meet workload of the race secretary. Registering hounds with the appropriate national Registrar-Record Keepers in advance of the meet is encouraged and greatly appreciated.
If you must "Day of" register your hound, you must bring a copy (not original) of your hound's registration. Without it, you will not be able to run your hound in the official meet. No Exceptions!
Practice runs between programs as time permits: $10 per run per dog for non-members and $5 per run per dog for SCWA members. There will be a sign-up sheet for practice runs at the scoreboard table.
=========================
Division II - bring out your conformation dogs that love to run:
WE OFFER DIVISION II RACING for WRA FOR DOGS WITH SHOW BRED LINES, WITH THEIR OWN SETS OF CHAMPIONSHIP POINTS. You can read more at https://www.whippetracing.org/Division-II-Information.pdf.
To participate in DII, a whippet must be approved by the DII Registrar. Requesting approval for DII is the responsibility of the owner/handler. To request approval, a copy of the whippet’s AKC, CKC or UKC registration along with the call name, owner(s), and 3-generation pedigree must be sent to the WRA DII Registrar at [email protected] at least 48 hours before a meet if approval is desired prior to a specific meet. If approved and the request was sent at least 48 hours prior to roll call/inspection as listed in the meet premium, the whippet will be considered an eligible DII adult starter for a meet even if the DII Registrar
is, for whatever reason, unable to immediately send an official approval notification or immediately update the WRA database. Only dogs on the approved list will be eligible for DII points. Your dog must be qualified to run with other dogs!!!!! We offer training at the race meet to achieve this goal if it does not. Questions regarding DII contact Debbey Bartos at [email protected] and don’t wait till the last minute. Do it now so you can get approved. PLEASE NOTE: Your dog must be registered with Division II 48 hours prior to the meet to be eligible for points.
