Formed in 2002, NARC is a non-profit club promoting amateur sighthound racing in Minnesota. We hold straight racing through LGRA (Large Gazehound Racing Association) and oval track racing through NOTRA (National Oval Track Racing Association). Currently our events are held mainly in Ramsey, MN at The King's Ranch. Please contact us for more information.
Sighthounds (also called Gazehounds) are breeds which were bred to hunt independently from man, using primarily their keen eyesight as opposed to sense of smell, although all their other senses are quite accute. A sighthound sees prey and chases, whereas a scenthound smells prey and tracks. Sighthounds are athletic runners, very trim and elegant, and understandably the fastest group of dogs in existence. Of course, each breed of sighthound is unique, and it is impossible to classify them all with one generic term.
Feel free to browse our site and contact us if you would like further information about NARC or any of the racing venues we host. Thanks for visiting NARC's home on the Net!
