Armadillo Racing
Participate in Memorable Armadillo Racing Events
Armadillo Racing is the purest sport in the world today: unfettered by the unsavory underworld types like pari-mutuel racing; unscathed by strikes, like the NBA, NFL, MLB, and PBA (Bowlers); untouched by ludicrous player salaries, the armadillos race only for joy and earthworms; and unrestricted by huge, expensive tracks like those licensed by the Texas Racing Commission.
For maximum, Texas-sized impact, consider Super Dillos. This combines two racing tracks to make one large oval course. The increased size will enhance your guests' racing and spectating experience.

The kind that might be: holding a special event or theme party; in need of an attention-grabbing mixer; looking for a few laughs; entertaining international visitors or Yankees, or searching for a change of pace.
All kinds of stuff. Cheap prizes for participants; Texana galore; show and tell about the bizarre, prehistoric animals; tall tales; Yankee-baiting; photo opportunities; and one shamelessly silly, eminently promotable, amazingly simple, and terrifically Texas event.
We find a couple of drinks early in the evening usually helps. Frankly, an armadillo race will not hold a crowd's attention for four hours. Fortunately, by running several races over the course of an evening, it fits ideally into band breaks, an "Olympic" event or as a colorful addition to a variety of other activities at a festival or Texas theme party. The rest of the time, it is show and tell.
The track comes in panels held together on the corners with Texas Flags, and it only takes up a 12' x 20' space plus room for a crowd. We've been outside on playing fields at colleges and on lawns at private parties and picnics. We have run races inside all of Texas’ major convention hotels, a few clubs, and in convention centers and at trade shows.
No, but we're trying. Until it becomes a full-time job, we'll continue what we've been doing since 1977 - providing first-rate Texas Entertainment.
