Due to the current situation with COVID-19 the
2020 Dingo Races will be cancelled.
Due to not being able to hold working bees to get
our track ready due to the restrictions and also it
would be wrong to ask our sponsors for donations
during these tough times.
We are very saddened by this but can promise
2021 is going to go off with a bang.
Thank you for understanding and your continued
support.
See you in 2021 for bigger and better times!!!
