I wasn’t aware there would be any racing going on, just the handling area and then the parade lap. I would love to take one of my dogs but getting a 45kg german shepherd to sit still in an MX5 for a 200 mile journey is a challenge I don’t care to take on! As an aside, I’ve taken my dogs on plenty of MG runs and to events without problem but they tend not to be held at racing circuits. There’s usually a good turn out of canine passengers and rarely any children - heaven! But, in the words of the Rolling Stones, you can’t always get what you want!

Exactly what I said.

I agree with your sentiments. It makes me very angry when I consider going to an event and I discover dogs are banned. In most cases, simply specifying something like, “Dogs must be on a lead at all times.” would suffice, but no, petty little bureaucrats, health and safety wonks, and fear of being sued if someone gets bitten is enough to scare most event organisers.
What I do now is make a note of all no dog events and ensure I never darken their doors ever again. My money only goes to dog friendly events these days.

It has nothing to do whether you are bitten by the dog, it only takes one dog to slip the leash and run out onto the track and that would be catastrophic if the beast was struck by a racing car at speed putting the drivers and the publics safety at risk…get real and think about !!!

I would trust my dog on a lead rather than any human i don’t know…as for “It only takes one dog to slip the leash and run out onto the track and that would be catastrophic if the beast was struck by a racing car at speed putting the drivers and the publics safety at risk…get real and think about !!!”

What a load of nonsense…how many dogs slip their leash? It only takes one person to run out onto the track for it to go tits up too.

What if you have a guide dog?

Fenton!

Think it may be time to put this thread to sleep and just leave it lie.

That is your opinion and you have right to hold an opinion but the fact remains as in Oulton Parks FAQ :

No animals are permitted anywhere on site. Guide dogs are the only exception.

If for any reason you have a problem with MSV rulings take it up with them and at the end of the day you have a choice

Just watching the MotoGP practice from Austin Texas, dog on track brings out red flag.

Only goes to show it can happen, even in H&S crazy USA.

Love my dogs too much to take racing or airshows.

As much as I love my dog I can’t for the life of me think why I would want to take him to a Motorsport event, hordes of people, loud cars etc, he would be a PITA, new smells, lots of people to say hello to, he is well behaved but still a pain when all I want to do is watch the Motorsport, and as has been shown this weekend they have no place at a race circuit.
