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]
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 league in 1958 and 1959.[3]
The stadium was a venue for important events, including a qualifying round of the Speedway World Championship in 1984.[4][5]
A new club Kronjyllands Speedway Club started racing at Fladbro in 1997 but they stopped racing in 2004.[2]
On 5 August 2009, Claus Vissing set a track record of 65.5 seconds.[2]
