Forget cock fighting, cockroach racing is the new trend you want to get your friends into.

In Australia we know they have animals that haunt your dreams but now they even have sports that will creep you out. At The Story Bridge Hotel in Brisbane, Queensland they hold their yearly cockroach race on January 26th. 

The video above shows just how racing a cockroach works. All you need is a container and a bunch of cockroaches. Participants can bring own cockroach or purchase one for A$5 (US$3.50). The only rule is you can't bring any flying cockroaches. That's just crazy talk.

If  your dream is to race cockroaches then get your stuff together and fly out to Australia.
