Oh my God how cool is that?!? So are the pigs chasing that dog the way dogs chase rabbits?

#4 looks like he’s got a little pig-cape. He’s like America’s own bacon-based super hero!

Nope, they are racing for an Oreo cookie. I guess they have been trained to know that the first one across the line gets it.

What’s the track made of? It almost looks like popcorn (but then the piggies would just stop and start munching…)

Nice action shot!

I believe they are just those really soft wood shavings.

Well that’s just crazy talk. How are they supposed to twist and dunk?

the track was just a circle of scattered wood shavings on top of asphalt. very thrown together.

Ah - so they were running away from Ian not towards the Oreo.
