The 1200 meter long track was used first time for a long track meeting with many riders in many classes.
Although the meeting opened at 1 pm., the comprehensive programme took its time, and the last heats were ridden in the evening hours in floodlight.
Only one rider crashed and escaped with minor bruises. But no less than 12 motors ended on the scrap heap, partly due to the warm weather, partly to some riders’ lack of experience in setting up of the bikes to this very long track.

June 19. 2005, Nordic Open Long Track Championship:

billund 001A funny programme cover

The final in the Nordic Long track Championship was announced as an open event, which allowed riders from The Netherlands, Great Britain and Germany to enter, but with no possibility of being awarded the Nordic Championship, although they had the chance to win the Golden Bear race final, sponsored by Haribo. The programme included classes for 80 cc, sidecars, short track, 250 cc sport and old boys.

Due to an accident which hit the female Norwegian rider Stina Boerufsen, there was a break of approx. 1 hour. Hence the programme got shortened accordingly by leaving some secondary heats out.
Stina in pain got taken to hospital in Vejle to be scanned for internal injuries, but left there the next day, and already next Saturday she rode in a meeting i Norway.
A cool girl – indeed !
