Cockroach races

This year the Cocky races in Brisbane, Australia were on 26-01-2006. Racing is simple....the races are held in a circular track and roaches are then let go from an upturned bucket in the middle...first to the edge is a winner. Things are made a little more difficult in the steeplechase events where a circular fence (garden hose) is used to enhance the spectacle and test the roach talent. There is no betting as such on the races. Instead punters pay $5 to buy a roach and $5 to enter it or their own in a race.....all roaches are numbered (not an easy job), with first second and third receiving prizes...First gets a pack from the race sponsor and a trophy, second and third get a cash prize.
The first competition was in 1982. And till now every year this festival becomes more and more popular. There is The Elite Cocky Hall of Fame were all winners are mentioned. This festival has its own internet page, were you can find all information about this festival, rules, hall of flame ( ).
As the story goes...
