Gold Rush Sprint - Another Roaring Success!
Mount Morgan was electrifying on Friday, 18 July as the thrum and roar of high-performance engines announced the arrival of the CQ Crane Hire Gold Rush Hill Sprint participants! Police-escorted, nearly 120 fierce competitors into Morgan Street, kicking off a weekend of adrenaline-pumping action.This highly anticipated parade and the subsequent "show and shine" event, the culmination of months of meticulous planning, brought the town to life. Spectators lined the streets as the magnificent vehicles, driven by dedicated racers, made their grand entrance from Poison Creek, navigating the challenging Razorback to reach Mount Morgan. Aaron Black, Vice-President of the Central Queensland Motor Sporting Club Inc. (the masterminds behind the Hillsprint), expressed his enthusiasm. "We started with 130 cars, but due to various issues, this was reduced to 118," he noted. Despite the slight reduction, he was thrilled with the turnout for the parade, emphasizing that "nearly all of the competitors made the effort" to be part of the spectacular display. The excitement didn't stop there, as the main event — the thrilling race itself — unfolded on Saturday and Sunday, 19-20 July.
