ROAD-RACING Purung klassiker Den 14-årige Oliver Svendsen er formentlig den yngste kører til at deltage i dansk classic roadracing nogensinde. Oliver stillede op til AMKs racing festival i maj i år. Oliver Svendsen har også deltaget i det tyske mesterskab - men på dispensation, fordi han er et par år for ung til egentlig at være med. I sit første løb i Tyskland tog han en flot tredjeplads. Herhjemme deltager han i Moto3 DM-klassen på sin Honda RS125. På AMKs racing festival sluttede han to’er i sin klasse. MILJØ Husk miljøet DIF Her er tre fokuspunkter, vi skal overholde i motorsporten for at kunne eksistere. Samarbejde styrker idrætsforeninger 1.

SPEEDWAY Iversen tangerer Olsens rekord Niels-Kristian Iversen var endnu en gang særdeles godt kørende ved DM i Speedway, og med hans syvende speedway-guld i træk tangerede han Ole Olsens rekord. Ole Olsen vandt i alt DM-titlen 12 feed gange i karrieren, men de første syv titler fra 1967 til 1973 var i træk.

After the 1964 Olympics, Ralph started racing motorcycles. He progressed to sidecar racing in the early 1970's. At different times during the 1970's he raced with each of his four sons, Tom, Pete, Eric, and finally Scott. Ralph and Scott traveled to Europe in 1979 to race five races in the European Sidecar Championships (see photo below). 1964 U.S. Olympic Water-Polo team They went on to Ralph (Lower-Right) become the American Sidecar Champions in 1980 (a great achievement for a father and son team). At this time Tom and Pete were racing together as a team on a sidecar they built themselves. Tom and Scott had a dream of building their own motocross sidecar based on a Harley-Davidson engine. While Scott was in college (studying engineering), they joined up to design and built that sidecar (see photos below). Soon they began racing together, and went on to Ralph and Scott at Wohlen-Switzerland (1979) win the American Sidecar Championship in 1982 on this All-American bike.
