Pig-N-Ford Racing
Held at the Tillamook, Ore., County Fair since 1925, pig-n-Ford racing traces its origins to a couple of locals who so enjoyed chasing down a runaway pig in their Model T they made it into a sport. The competition requires each participant to grab a 20-lb. pig, crank the engine on the car, jump into the driver's seat and drive around the track — without letting go of the pig. The first to successfully move three pigs around the track in this fashion is declared the winner.
