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!!!

My gradfather is the one who started that back in the day.

And you questioned my redneck roots.

If your family was involved in that, no one should EVER question your redneckness.

You should have known Avid.

Trying to find a picture I have of my Dad and grandfather that was taken when they gave my grandfather the #1 car and coat when he was still alive.
