tyretrax 2,253 Posted September 28, 2015 Forty three years since the passing of Svein following a crash at Hampden. Still sadly missed at Glasgow. A memorial stone from Norway has now been installed at Ashfield. Rest In Peace dear friend. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve roberts 9,246 Posted September 29, 2015 I remember Svein Kaasa when he rode briefly for the Oxford 'Rebels'. A sad loss as I believe he was starting to show some form when he joined Glasgow. RIP 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reviresco 708 Posted October 4, 2015 Reported as being the first bend on the tribute on the Speedway Plus site: http://speedwayplus.com/SveinKaasa.shtml Good to see that they have a memorial to Svein at the 'new' Hampden and great that Ashfield has added it's own tribute. R.I.P. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
