The Zucchini 500 is back.

For the past six years, the Easton Farmers' Market has hosted this unique little race, a variation on the Cub Scouts' Pinewood Derby.

But instead of carving a little racecar out of wood, the contestants in the Zucchini 500 make their cars from -- as the name implies -- zucchinis.

Racers compete in three categories: mid-sized, sports car and monster truck. Adults are allowed to enter as well, but only in the mid-sized category. A $6 entry fee gets you access to all the things you need to build your racer.

Peter Brohl, a NASCAR official, will be on hand to wave the checkered flag.

The race begins Saturday at 11 a.m. in Centre Square.
