ROCK ISLAND GRAND PRIX HOLIDAY UPDATE

All of us at the Rock Island Grand Prix -- organizers, volunteers and paid staff -- would like to wish all of our friends in the kart racing industry Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas.

We have some exciting announcements planned for early in January, so watch for future email updates.

As of early December, our room block at the Holiday Inn Rock Island -- the host hotel -- had been filled for Friday and Saturday night.

Information on addition hotels and rates can be found here:

We are also looking forward to seeing you all at Kart Expo International, February 23-24, in suburban Chicago. If you are a business involved in karting we encourage you to participate as an exhibitor. This is the biggest trade show each year dedicated just to kart racing. If you are a racer, you will want to plan to attend and check out the latest in 2008 karting equipment, parts and accessories.

We hope you all have a safe an joyous holiday season and look forward to seeing you August 30-31 at the Rock Island Grand Prix, the world's largest street race, held in Rock Island, Illinois.
