If you have ever seen the episode of MTV’s ‘Rob & Big’ where they go to a underground turtle racing match, then you already know about this up & coming obsession. Peabody’s has now brought the world of turtle racing to Hampton Roads, with their Turtle Racing Thursdays.

Contestants got a chance to pick their own turtles, give them unique names, and let them go loose on the dance floor. The winner received $75 in cash from Peabody’s.

Yes, we know all of you are now running to the park to find your very own turtle.
