Nevada Day 2020 rock drilling competition results
Here are the results of the 46th annual World Championship Jack Drilling competition held Saturday at the Carson Mall as part of the 2020 Nevada Day festivities.
Contestants used 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 had 10 minutes to drill and their only help was from an assistant who runs water into the hole to clear out loose stone chips. Those who drilled the deepest holes were the winners.
