Shaledodger Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Can any of our Swedish historians identify which track Hokarna raced at, please? I have a Stockholm vs Orebro programme dated 23rd September 1956, racing at Hokplan. I also have a SMK Gullrahov programme dated 5 June 1981 for DM - KVAL Vastra. Might this be Gullspang? There is a drawing of a Kaparna rider on the cover. The track length was 250m and the track record was 55.8 seconds, held jointly by Bernt Persson and Tommy Nilsson. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't help you with the other question though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The historicpage we had set up here in Sweden is closed sadly. Will ask a friend of mine who might have the answer on this matter. / Mikael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarabanko Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I have been informed this on Hökplan. Hökplan was a track for cycle speedway and not the speedway we think of with engines. They had programs and a league for cycle speedway. / Mikael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
