It seemed like the hare was going to win the race, but he got tired and fell asleep while the tortoise kept moving and the tortoise won.
Meanwhile nobody else cares about races anymore.
Based on how much teams spend to win at Le Mans or Daytona (either the 500 or the 24) it seems like some people care quite a bit.
There's a race that happens near me every year. Contestants ride about in "outhouses" (outdoor toilets). I was a tad underwhelmed, but the tourists seem to like it.
"Things step up a notch with the Parade of Outhouses around 1 p.m. The crowd gathers to cheer for their favorite "people powered potty" team of driver and pushers. The wheeled outhouses are outfitted with a steering device for the driver (while sitting on a potty seat), with power provided by two pushers. Teams get into the spirit by dressing in costumes to fit the theme of their privy.
All sense of decorum is abandoned as the racers line up and run in heats on Jefferson Street south of the court square to determine the fastest privy in the Ozarks. Teams compete for the revered Gold, Silver and Bronze toilet seat awards and cash prizes."

Why is everybody talking about toilets today?
