This video captures the excitement and humor of a competition that combines vintage Model T Ford cars and live pigs as passengers. Witness the preparation and quirks of these antique cars, requiring hand-cranking to start, and the challenge faced by drivers who must sprint to grab a pig and race around the track while holding onto their squealing co-passenger.
