We have whippet fun days and they are becoming popular photographic opportunities as we allow photographers on the track. Most of the time the whippets dodge us. :) It sure gets your adrenalin up.

As an owner of 2 whippets I can vouch for how fast they run & how focused they are :D

When you get down low for shots like this sometimes they forget to swerve...and it hurts! :lol:

Cracking set of shots!

Great set of photos and from an angle I've not seen before. Very nice job.

Are they chasing a mechanical hare?
