Tony Neilson added two more Rock trophies to his collection, Scott “Skitchy” Barnes took four more home to Bermuda, and racers clocked some of the most competitive finishes in recent history at the 30^th annual Xtream Rock Island Grand Prix August 30-31.

The Xtream Rock Island Grand Prix, the karting street race that national driver Race Liberante once called “the baddest-ass go-kart race in the world,” once again put on quite a show. This year, the largest crowd since pre-Covid years lined the course and was treated to some great action by some of the nation’s top drivers. Heavy rain late Saturday forced 3 heat races to be moved to Sunday morning, but the rest of the program was right on schedule.
