THERE were thrills, spills and plenty of excitement at the Noosa Christian College (NCC) Billy Cart Grand Prix on Sunday 19 July.
Held in Cooroy, the 12th annual race for pre-preps to open was officially opened by Matt Forge from Forge Transport and MC Richard Hansen.
It was a great day out for the family with many of the younger racers dressed in colourful outfits with funky hair to make their team stand out from the rest.
With plenty of cheering from the crowd, each racer did their best to get their team over the line and take out top honours at the 2015 Billy Cart GP.
The NCC Teachers team had their pit-stop changeover down pat in an effort to get the edge over the younger competition.
To close the day of racing, a fun one-lap race for several mixed teams was held with a couple of guests including David Lafferty and Karl Doss from Cooroy Bendigo Bank.
But it wasn’t just the racing; fete-goers also enjoyed amusement rides, live music, market stalls and other Fete attractions.
Many young people also entered the Lego, cooking, art and photography competitions – with an impressive calibre of entries vying for prizes.
NCC Parents and Friends president Mrs De Johnstone said she was thrilled with the success of the day and the response from the wider community.
“I am so grateful to our school community for the effort they put in to make this annual event a fun day for the kids,” she said.
“With support from many parents, college staff and donations from local businesses, we are able to raise valuable funds for our Parents and Friends projects that benefit the students.”
