Announcing a FUN weekend of CWA Racing, May 31 - June 1, 2008 at Solano Community College in Fairfield!

Please contact Jean Balint for a premium list, eligibility requirements, and particulars. We encourage newcomers to racing to bring their whippets out to learn more at this event. There will be practice opportunities and enthusiastic volunteers are always welcome (no experience necessary!).

Racing is the ultimate test of speed for sighthounds. Whippet racing is always done for fun, never for money or for gambling. Several national organizations sponsor straight-track and oval-track racing, and the NCWFA is proud to offer several racing events every year. Our next racing event will be a weekend of CWA racing on May 31 - June 1, 2008. If you are interested in racing your whippet, contact Jean Balint to find out about upcoming events, practices, or racing rules.

NAWRA Racing

The North American Whippet Racing Association sponsors straight-track racing for whippets. NAWRA events are often held in conjunction with LGRA (Large Gazehound Race Association) events for non-whippet sighthounds. Whippets can earn the NAWRA titles RCh (Race Champion), SRCh (Supreme Race Champion), SRE (Show and Race Excellence), JrRD (Junior Racing Dog), and SrRD (Senior Racing Dog). For more information on NAWRA racing, visit the NAWRA home page.

NOTRA Racing

The National Oval Track Racing Association sponsors oval-track racing for all sighthounds. Hounds can earn the ORC (Oval Race Champion) and SORC (Supreme Oval Race Champion) titles through NOTRA. Visit the NOTRA home page for more information about NOTRA Racing.

CWA Racing

The Continental Whippet Alliance emphasizes both speed and structure through combined straight-track race meets and conformation matches. For more information on CWA racing, visit the CWA home page.
