"TILLAMOOK, Ore.—Driving in circles while holding a pig properly is something that demands hewing to the rules.
The Pig-N-Ford Race has long been the premier event at the Tillamook County Fair in this town of about 5,000. Each racer grabs a young pig from a pen with one arm, crank starts a Model T Ford with the other and drives around a dirt track clutching the porker.
As the pigs join their racers this weekend for the 2014 Pig-N-Ford finals, they will face some of the sorts of rules, rivalries and whiff of controversy that often consume motor sports.
The contest was once a freewheeling, low-key affair, says 77-year-old George Hurliman, who stopped racing in the 1980s after building a dynasty of nine career championships. "It used to be—it was more like buddy-buddy."
That was long before the Great Camshaft Controversy of 2010. Marty Walker, a UPS driver from nearby Sherwood, that year tied Mr. Hurliman's record with a ninth win and solidified his own porcine/automotive dynasty.
Mr. Walker's rivals suspected he cheated. So they exercised their rights under Article 7 of the Tillamook County Model T Pig and Ford Association Racing Rules, which lets members pay $100 to challenge the vehicle's legality."
We have visited this area but never found this race! I have several email friends within short driving distance of Tillamook so I wonder if they've watched this race and what they think?
It sounds like an exciting, crowd drawing competition to me!
I ran the stock Oliver 88 side panels on my Oliver 88 pulling tractor so people would be less tempted to see what was "under the hood!" I remember taking them off after awhile because the side panels drew more curiosity than they prevented!
Combine demolition derbies had their day in the sun in Ohio but I don't see many of them anymore. This sounds like an old tradition that has stuck.
What does your county fair do to draw crowds that is unique?

Good to hear you enjoyed it Ed.
