I'm not a big fan of any kind of racing, frankly. Once I was very interested in a girl whose brothers built and raced a drag-racer. She tried it and found that she could beat their times.

The next thing I know, she sends me a picture of herself in a full body cast. That cured me of my interest in drag racing.

From what I know of greyhound racing, which is next to nothing, the dogs are well-treated as long as they are winning. It's when they aren't winning that the problems arise. The consequences of losing are brutal, I've heard. They aren't cuddly enough to be popular as pets, and there is only one way to keep them from eating dog food.
