Quirks are a generic prediction of strongly-interacting hidden sectors with low Lambda. Such particles can be produced in large numbers at the LHC with high initial pT, but since they are tied together by a color string, the quirk--anti-quirk system has vanishing total pT and so propagates down the beam pipe into forward detectors. We show that quirks produce a spectacular signature of two simultaneous, slow or delayed, charged tracks, allowing FPF detectors to probe deep into quirk parameter space
