This highly successful competition in now in its 6th year of running and organised by the Team at Rippin AZ. Many would argue that this event alone, has been responsible for changing the sport of Whoop Racing and inspired many racers on to the Whoop track.

THE RACING CIRCUIT
Race Gates - For Whoop Racing we have standardised all internal gates sizes to be 19” x 19” (48cm x 48cm) with gates configured as single, double, or triple gates. The same dimensions have already been proven to work and used by the successful team at Whooptopia. We’ve also adopted standardised dimensions for our hurdles, tunnels, flags, and ‘h’ gates.
The Racing circuit - The racing circuit is in a large basketball court, sized hall. The hall has no windows, no external light, and the interior lights will be switched off to maximise the effect of the LED illuminated gates (as adopted by Whooptopia). All gates will be mains powered with all wires, cable and power leads taped to the ground to minimise entanglement and interference of your Whoop while racing. The wires are also tapped down to reduce tripping hazards while walking on the racing circuit. The Racing circuit space itself will use 50% of the Basketball Court.
