Rag-racing

We went ragracing this weekend -- that's the old term. In today's vernacular we say "chasing the bunny" which is actually chasing a squawker wrapped in stuffing.

It was a good weekend. The weather was cold, but warmed up a bit in the afternoon. Most weekends consist of straight track racing on Saturday with an oval on Sunday. It was foggy Saturday. That combined with lack of human manpower meant that I didn't get to engage in my 2nd hobby -- taking pictures. I took a few, but the fog really makes for a poor substrate.

Today, picture taking was limited, again. After starting by 8:30 or so, we had to take a 90 minute break when the fog got too thick (see picture). When the lure operator can't see the bunny, it's time to take a break.

A couple of club members helped me with my dogs, allowing me to take pictures when the fog finally burned off. I finally got a couple of decent shots of Mati (the photographer's kids can be the last to be captured):
The photo above is a little flawed -- I nearly missed her back foot!

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Hug your hounds!
