f-s-p Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 It shows that the first Swedish final was at Göteborg, where? I thought Gislaved was the first track in Sweden back in -36 with Hallstavik a good second in -38... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 One of the best sites for speedway history Puma's site Seems to show that there were a couple of tracks there in 1936 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schumi Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Thank you, and can anyone help with dates and places of birth for: Dennis Andersson Pontus Aspgren Mikael Axelsson (place only) Tobias Ingesson Christian Ingesson Kim Ingmarsson Mikael Ingvarsson Claes Ivarsson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Dennis Andersson 91/06/03 Pontus Aspgren 91/03/15 Tobias Ingesson 90/07/27 Christian Ingesson 87/02/15 Kim Ingmarsson 88/06/27 Mikael Ingvarsson Claes Ivarsson 68/04/04 Haven't heard of a rider called Mikael Ingvarsson. In Vetlanda, there were a Mikael Edvardsson some years ago, could it be him? Have no idea of place of birth for these riders. I could list the home town for the first team in which they rode in, but that ain't 100% to be the place of birth. Could also list current place of residence, but that ain't what you're looking for either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 i think Dennis Andersson is from Avesta or somewhere nearby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Vetlanda, there were a Mikael Edvardsson some years ago, could it be him? He had one ride for Rospiggarna in 1990 according to this: http://www.speedway.org/history/1990.htm But thanks very much for the dates.
