Rock Island Grand Prix report

ROCK ISLAND, Illinois -- East and west drivers met head on as is usually the case at the Rock Island Grand Prix professional kart races, with drivers from both coasts as well as the Midwest taking home some of the $25,000 purse. Presenting sponsors of the races are Ameritech and Iowa Illinois Taylor Insulation.

Alan Rudolph of Arizona added to his ranking as the top gearbox driver in the country by retaining the crown for the Superkarts! USA King of the Streets race sponsored by the Bob Bondurant Super Kart School. Rob Thurman of California claimed the Ameritech Formula S2 125cc shifter title.

Meanwhile Bermuda's Jason North won the Jumer's Casino Rock Island 2-cycle Controlled Super Stock class and Justin Gumley of New Jersey won the Iowa Illinois Taylor Insulation 4-cycle Stock Medium title representing the east.

Geographically speaking, it was the Midwest that came out on top lead by a local driver, Michael Welsh of Davenport, Iowa, who won three classes for the day in what may be his swan song for kart racing. He expects to move to cars next season.

Another local driver, Michael Dittmer, also of Davenport, won the 4- cycle Junior II class sponsored by Rieken's Racing. Todd Bolton, Rod Stewart, Ryan Cassity and Jason Birdsell, all of Illinois, and Dan Roe of Minnesota, added their names to the list of Rock Island Grand Prix winners.

"Every year I've been hoping and praying for a local guy to be in this spot right now, and it just blows my mind that I'm the one in this position right now," Welsh said at the end of the day.

Welsh joins the nationally-known pair of Jason Birdsell and Eric Jones as the only competitors to win more than two classes in the same year at Rock Island.

"That's some pretty good company, huh?" Welsh said, sounding impressed to be associated with Birdsell (six Rock Island victories in 1998) and Jones (four in 1996). "Joining those guys is like putting my face up on Mount Rushmore.

"My dream, ever since I started racing six years ago, was to win just one race here, and now I've done it three times. What an awesome feeling. This is the greatest day of my life."

It was a pretty good afternoon, too, for Arizona's Alan Rudolph.

The three-time Rock Island Grand Prix winner reclaimed the King of the Streets crown and $2,000 top prize in the final race of the day, the 30-lap feature for Formula S1 125cc Shifters.

Using the same motor Rudolph used two years ago to set the track record in winning the event feature, Colorado's Ron White blazed to a 33.591-second lap halfway through the King of the Streets.

However, White wound up wiping out 19 laps from the finish while riding Rudolph's bumper, hoping the top-ranked shifter kart driver in the country would make a mistake.

Without the polesitter to challenge him, Rudolph cruised to a 13- second victory over Bobby

Wilson, the 19-year-old phenom that claimed Formula S1's first leg of the Triple Crown of Kart Racing -- the Long Track Nationals -- earlier this summer. The King of the Streets was the second leg put on by Superkarts! USA.

Thurman won his second straight leg in the series in the Formula S2 Shifters.

Third in the feature was Joe Janowski, crowned the first "King" back in 1998 thanks to a photo-finish victory over Rudolph, who successfully defended the crown he won last year in Quincy.

"This one means more," said Rudolph. "Not only is it special to come back and win at this event, I did it against a better field than I did last year at Quincy.

"Plus, this helps me in the national rankings according to Shifter Kart Illustrated. I was holding a narrow lead before this race, so it was important for me to win this one."

Sunday's racing started under "wet" conditions after early morning showers, but the track was ruled "dry" by the beginning of the features. The racing was fast with four new lap-records established, including a new track record.

The other fast-lap records set Sunday included 4-Cycle Medium class by Indiana's Robby Smith, 39.159, 2-Cycle Controlled Super Stock by Bermuda's North, 35.948, and 80cc Shifter by Minnesota's Noah Roe, 35.673.

Eight other racers also sped past the old marks in their classes Sunday, including five in the 80cc Shifters and three in the Formula S1 King of the Streets.

The only event which ran slower than Saturday's qualifying was the first race of the day, the Zimmerman Pontiac Cadillac Oldsmoible Honda-sponsored Yamaha Heavy class. It was the first race to be run after the course was delcared dry.

Bolton, who won that race, said that field's slow speeds were due to extra caution, with drivers expecting a slick and slower track. Happily, they discovered differently, he said.
