In 1952 the Danish Championships got separated in Speedway on short tracks under 400 m. and Long tracks over 650 m., also named as 1000 m.
Generally the riders were the same, and still there was ridden in many classes, both sidecars and solo.
The interest for the long track sport is gradually diminished, because a number of suitable tracks, among them the trotting tracks have been closed for motor cycles and with them also practice possibilities. There is still a group of few enthusiastic Long track riders left, but not enough to justify a championship.
The only track in Denmark, still left open for the sport, is the old Skovby track near Haderslev, where occasionally practice and meetings with participation og riders from our neighbor countries are organized.
The Sports Motor Club Gandrup is annually organizing a grass track meeting at Skiveren due north of the Limfjord. Same club embarked some years ago into a leasing arrangement about the Jübeck long track at Schleswig in Northern Germany, which lay idle after being abandoned by the local club.
Add to that, that competition worthy material is costly both in acquiring an maintenance, especially seen in relation to the restricted possibility for utilization.
Since 1992 no official Danish Long track Championship meeting has been held.
The table blow contains only the Champions in the highest 500 cc. sole class.
*). In 1956 was Sport 500 cc. the highest class.
