Wild Whippies 11 Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Fab shots I think racers have been overwhelmed by the warm reception they've received at Shirebrook. Track looks superb and imagine it'll be meerly a matter of time before they have some opens on there and whippet racers from across the country will be going! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spot on there Jac the people at Shirebrook Staff have been great. Can't believe used to race there as a young girl and back now all these years later helping run the club, its brill to see such enthusiasm, here's hoping a few more get itchy feet and invest in a few non peds to boost numbers at the club, looking good at the moment and hopefully can only get better. Pics are great by the way thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
