Aalborg Stadium

Dirt track

 The first track in 1933

Credit given to Frank Larsen Aalborg for supplying a lot of data for this page.

The first motor club in Aalborg called Sport Motor Club Aalborg  existed for some years and had in 1932 by members’ labor built a 346.4 m long Dirt Track at an approx. 27,500 m2 area  at Annebergvej where Aalborg Trotting Track is today. The track was surrounded by a resilient safety fence, and on the inner circle were repair area and a first aid tent. The track got inaugurated on Sunday June 11, 1933 , with a fine field of riders spearheaded by the Danes Morian Hansen and Baltzer Hansen. From Sweden came Stig Bramell.
From Australia Tiger Lewis should have come, but he was replaced by Dick Wise. In addition, several lesser-known Danish riders participated.

The next race day was announced for the 4th August. From here we have no results. The club went bankrupt in 1935 and closed. The bankruptcy was probably due to the 40% state tax on the entrance fee , which was introduced just in 1933. It was even increased to 60%  shortly after  .

In the spring of 1934 a group of people wrote an ad in a Aalborg newspaper, called for people who were interested in starting a new motor club in Aalborg. This resulted in that, on September 27. 1934 a founding meeting was held in a club which got named North Jutland Motor Sport.
This club continued to operate the dirt track at Aalborg Stadium. It was in the early days of track motor sports in Denmark. The interest was enormous and motorists were used for different kinds of initiations, demonstrations , etc. This club also reached to fail a few times, but many energetic people behind  managed to get the club on its feet again. Some of the promoters was N.O. Jensen and Carlo Nielsen.

However, we have no results from the period between 1936 and 1939.

During the war there were – as anywhere else in Denmark – no motor activities on the track. Meanwhile the cinders track was changed, so the length was 400 m., and the width reduced to 8 m.

1948

The Nimbus club in Aalborg organized an inaugurating meeting at the end of Aalborg Sports Week in 1948. (date not provided).
Because of the narrow track, the number of riders in each heat got reduced to three.
The drama in the meeting got provided by the Randers rider Peter Staal Jensen who crashed twice. First time right in front Eiler Svendsen from Aalborg who barely avoided a collision with him. Staal came back in the saddle again and completed the heat. The second time he fell, he injured his foot and got carried off on a stretcher. Before he dropped out of the race, however, he had sat a track record in the 350 cc. standard class.
Another lap record attempt in 500 cc failed when Ove Petersen crashed just 30 meters from the finish line.
