PROVISIONAL RACE SCHEDULE

(subject to change, and updating of details, please check regularly)

Hot Hounds Dryland: Comprises four races:

1 Pet Dog 1 mile

1 Sled Dog 1 mile

2 Sled dog 2 mile

Formula 1, 4-8 Sled dogs 2 miles, Powered or "engineless" Quad

Pet Dog Definition - generally defined by what a pet dog isn't: an entrant in the Pet Dog race is NOT

a retired sled dog; a slow sled dog; a B team sled dog leader; a young sled dog that hasn't been in a team yet, but that is entered into the Pet dog class so it gets some experience; an obviously non-husky, but otherwise has trained with, and as, a sled dog.

The Pet Dog class was set up to encourage Pet Dog Owners to bring their pet dogs out to compete on a level playing field. The Race Marshall will be taking a much stricter view of this definition this season, and no sane person wants to upset one of our Race Marshalls.
