World Championship Single Jack Drilling Contest
Event Description:
Annual World Championship Single Jack Drilling Contest is taking place this year. The Single Jack Drilling Contest begins at 10:30 a.m. on Curry St. in front of the Nevada Day Gift Shop Oct. 31.
Contestants use 4 1/2 pound hammers and a 3/4″ bit of steel to drill as deep and fast as they can in a 4,320 pound piece of Sierra White Granite. They have 10 minutes to drill and their only help is from an assistant who runs water into the hole to clear out loose stone chips. The deepest hole wins.
