- Basenji Club Racing -
What does a sighthound love most? To run and chase!
The Basenji Club of Southeastern Wisconsin, Inc. has hosted NOTRA (National Oval Track Racing Association) racing at the Greater Racine Kennel Club.
NOTRA is an organization that promotes, certifies, and awards titles for oval track racing for sighthounds.
There are several configurations and lengths of NOTRA tracks. A 350 yard oval track has been used at the GRKC. The lure is made from an animal skin and white plastic bags. It is pulled around the track on a line using a car starter motor and pulleys. The dogs break from 4 race boxes and run in groups of up to 4 dogs (of one breed) per race.
Past events included Afghan Hounds, Basenjis, Ibizan Hounds, Irish Wolfhounds, Italian Greyhounds, Salukis, and Silken Windhounds.
