A good ol’ fashioned vibrator race is something just about everyone can get behind…and yeah just a little higher to the left.

This one, sponsored by Tampa’s historic Todd Couple’s Superstore, benefits The Spring domestic violence shelter. And it’s hosted by the Tampa City Athletic Association, which makes these racers certified athletes.

Two caveats: You can’t add wheels or lube.

The night includes plenty of prizes for spectators and racers alike, so no need to be a buzzkill.

Think you’ve got the fastest speeding bullet in town? Send your stage name and walk-up song to stevemiller813@gmail.com to sign up. And if you just like to watch, that’s half the price.

Tickets are $10 to watch and $20 to participate in New World’s vibrator races, happening Saturday, May 30, in Tampa.
