ROCKDRILL REVIVAL

Worthy Parts are getting on board with the WA Rockdrill Club for their second event this year! The Beacon Minerals Coolgardie Day 125th Celebrations Rockdrill Championship. Coolgardie host an annual parade and street festival which draws a crowd of over 10,000 people to the goldfields town. This is the first year since 1996 a rockdrill has been held in the town.

It may seem a strange sport but Rockdrilling was once a staple on the country fairs circuits across Australia. Drillers use Sigma or Panter airleg’s to drill into a concrete face, the fastest driller/s for each event get the title of being the champion of their field. Pitted against rivals its makes for an adrenaline fuelled spectacle with drillers coming from all over Australia and some from overseas. Some events to look out for are the Northern Star Jack n Jill where men and ladies team together & the Maher Mining No Pusher, a challenge of boring through the block with no hydraulic arm, just pure strength and agility!

You can get more information on the event and down load the nominations form here! There is a $14,000 prize pool for this event! We can’t wait to catch up with some mates and cheer on our favourite drillers! See you there?
