tyretrax Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Forty three years since the passing of Svein following a crash at Hampden. Still sadly missed at Glasgow. A memorial stone from Norway has now been installed at Ashfield. Rest In Peace dear friend. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve roberts Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I remember Svein Kaasa when he rode briefly for the Oxford 'Rebels'. A sad loss as I believe he was starting to show some form when he joined Glasgow. RIP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Read the article in the Glasgow programme on Sunday and unfortunately the description of the tragic incident was incorrect as it happened on the third bend. I was there and you never forget such an event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviresco Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Reported as being the first bend on the tribute on the Speedway Plus site: http://speedwayplus.com/SveinKaasa.shtml Good to see that they have a memorial to Svein at the 'new' Hampden and great that Ashfield has added it's own tribute.
