Funny footage shows the moment over 150 ‘T-Rexes’ took part in a ‘Dino Derby’ in the US – with ‘Sexy Rexy’ being crowned the winner.
The T-Rex Race took part at the Emerald Downs racetrack in the city of Auburn, Washington State, on 21 August.
The 1/16 of a mile race, put on by TriGuard Pest Control, featured over 150 contestants dressed in inflatable Tyrannosaurus rex costumes.
Footage of this year’s race shows the competing T-Rexes lining up on the track before waddling over to the gates.
The bizarre-looking bunch then runs one-sixteenth of a mile as the commentator announces ‘Sexy Rexy’ as the winner with ‘Dino’ coming in second.
The winner, real name Logan Kludsikofsky from Auburn, said afterwards: “If you ain’t first, you’re last!”
The children’s race was by 13-year-old Sebastian Davis, with Hadley Lindsay, 14, coming in second.
Emerald Downs hosted the first T-Rex Race since 2019 when the event went viral with over 100 million views on social media, according to the racetrack.
Track President Phil Ziegler said: “So many people commented how the race video made them smile and laugh.”
This year’s event was the first to be open to the public and it attracted three times as many contestants, who had to bring their own dinosaur costume for the occasion.
Last weekend, Emerald Downs hosted the Wiener Dog and Wannabe races with over 80 dogs taking part.
This year’s Wiener Dog Championship went to Luca while JoJo was named this year’s Weiner Wannabe Champion.
There were also two corgi races.
The first was won by Clover Leaf Wigglebottom and the second was won by Melon.
