This is Sundsvall on 26th March 1956. Can't tell if this is a proper track or one that's been laid out in a field! Paul Lindgren took the photo and it's from Sundsvall Museum.

A couple more from the meeting at Kumla in June 1955. There's no other info with them, so we can only guess. The fence or pit gate being assembled or inspected. One of the competitors. The embroidered badge on the overalls says NYNAS, which is a Swedish oil company.

Kumla, 6th June 1955. They are now racing in the traditional anti-clockwise direction.

These are from Kumla on 9th May 1955. Note that the cars are racing in the clockwise direction.

These are Ryd Motorstadion. No specific date, other than 1955.

Another from the Junexvallen meeting on Sunday 1st May 1955. It's now dark and the floodlights are on. The accompanying info says that home driver Åke Gustafsson has just hit a car from behind so that it ended up on the roof.

After a bit more time with Swedish Google, I found a few things of interest..... There were 5,000 spectators at this meeting at Junexvallen on 1st May 1955. The winner was Ingvar Alfredsson from Nol.

Graham Brown kindly sent this programme from Kumla. It's from February 1956, and has no British drivers listed. This is the only one he has. And thanks to the Swedish version of Google for this info :- Kumla Speedway (approx 200km west of Stockholm) introduced stock car racing (which is also 'stock car racing' in Swedish!) in 1955 in an attempt to boost flagging audiences. So there was racing in Sweden in 1955 and 1956.

Spotted in a June 1955 programme from Harringay. There was definitely stock car racing in Dublin in 1954 and 1955, although information is scarce (if anyone's got any results or programmes, please share them ). Sweden was a new one, so I started doing some digging.
