About : On National Champion Crab Races Day, these crabs compete in 12 to 14 heat races. Here's how each race unfolds: The crustaceans loiter beneath an upside-down plastic salad bowl at the center of a 6-foot racing ring. Then the bowl is lifted, and crabs scatter in all directions. The first one, which cross the yellow ring wins and advances to the nightly championship race. The human whose crab wins the championship gets to choose a sealed envelope containing $10 to $100 in prize money.
