Speedway
The meetings got organized by Aabenraa and Sonderborg Motorsports club (ASAM)
From 1946 and several years after the Aabenraa Stadium hosted many fine speedway meetings, often with participation of German riders, whose bikes and other material lacked quality due to the poor financial situation i Germany shortly after WW2. In that respect, the Danish riders were better off.
Exactly when the Stadium closed as a Speedway is not known to this site, but there are reports that in 1955 it was still active. From 1956 and on no meetings are reported.
11. May 1952. International meeting:
7000 fans came to see international start meet the best Danish riders. Unfortunately the international touch faded away when the best Dutch rider Piet van Aartsen resigned due to injuries from a crash i Zurich a few days before..
Orla Knudsen from Copenhagen got called in on short notice to replace him. When the two remaining internationals Edvin Frederiksen and Reidar Jensen from Norway both crashed in their first heat and Reidar Jensen had to withdraw with injury, Frederiksen got left alone to represent the international, which he did superbly.
