A lot of small towns have interesting traditions. Well... Not many of them are more original and odd as the Tillamook Pig N' Ford races.
Drivers must pick up a pig, crank start their stock Model T, race a lap around the track, switch pigs and do it three times. It's all fun and games, but this is serious business here in the Mook!!!

I'm sure this a PETA nightmare, but at least they use 35 pound pigs now instead of the 80 pounders they used to use. I hear those things got loose at high speeds....often!!!
