Fladbro Speedway is a speedway track near Randers in Denmark. The track is located on the Randersvej road, about 5 kilometres west of Randers, on the south side of the Nørreå close to where it meets the Gudenå.[1] The stadium hosted the speedway team Randers Speedway Club and then Kronjyllands Speedway Club, who both previously raced in the Danish Speedway League.[2]
History
[edit | edit source]Randers Motor Klub acquired a new site for a track near the Fladbro Inn in 1954, having previously raced at the Jydsk Motorbane from 1947 to 1956. The new track opened on 8 August 1954.[2] Randers Speedway Club raced at Fladbro for many years and twice finished runner-up in the Danish Tournament (league) in 1958 and 1959.[3] The team raced under the name Laksene (the Salmon) because of the industry connected to the city and the team returned to league action during the 1972 Danish speedway season.[4]
Laksene continued to race in the Danish tournament and entered a second team known as Svanerne (the Swans) and later Fladbrodrdrengene.[5]
The stadium was a venue for important events, including a qualifying round of the Speedway World Championship in 1984.[6][7]
The new professional league was introduced in 1986 and was called the Danish Superliga.[8] The Randers speedway team, as they were now known, were not selected as founder members of the top division in 1986 but did race in the 1991 Superliga.[4] In 1994, the team won the bronze medal during the 1994 Danish speedway season.
Randers dropped out of the Superliga in 1996 after a poor 1995 season and were replaced by a new club Kronjylland Speedway Club, who started racing at Fladbro in 1997. Kronjylland stopped racing in 2004.[2]
On 5 August 2009, Claus Vissing set a track record of 65.5 seconds.[2]
