I don't know but I hope it will be. It would be great to go to an open and you are guaranteed more than 1 run especially if you have travelled a few hours, Also they seem really keen on promoting whippet racing, we could do with more new blood in the sport.
I spoke to john meades at kinsley and he has told me he will come onto k9 in the new year and promote the independant wrc, good luck to them in the future.

I agree with Michelle it is good that you can travel a few hours and are guaranteed more than one run. I don't really know much else about the organisation but it seems to be a really good idea from what i have heard. It would be nice to know a bit more of what the group is about i'm surprised nothing has been printed in whippet news, but i also heard there was a bit of bother about advertising with them??
If anyone has any more info it would be appreciated by the racers who haven't been to an independant open.

Does this mean a lifetime ban for theobromine? The Bwra and Fed`s drugs policy is madness but this sounds even worse - if that`s possible.
