Every year, contestants at the Tillamook County Fair in Tillamook County, Oregon compete in the Pig-N-Ford race, in which they drive around a dirt racetrack in Model T Fords holding a 20-pound pig, swapping out pigs at every lap.
According to Wikipedia, this started in 1925, when a bunch of farmers had to chase a pig down the road with their Model T and thought it was a lot of fun–looks like they were right!
There really isn’t much to say about this, except to note that it might be one of the weirdest things to happen in the domesticated pig’s 15,000 year history. All we really want to know is, do they get to eat the pigs after?
