More About Me and My Interest For Speedway
My interest for speedway started around the year of 2001. Then, Västervik Speedway was in the play-offs and I went with a friend to the meeting, which was the semifinal between Västervik and Tony Rickardsson's Masarna.
After this, I was not much in to speedway until Västervik's golden year of 2005. During this year,I started to go to more and more meetings at Ljungheden in Västervik. I was present at the very wet, rainy, cold and long 2nd leg final between Västervik and Elit Vetlanda. Västervik won the very tight meeting in the last heat, and won their first Swedish Goldmedal ever. Then, I also had a camera with me, but just a small one, a compact digital camera, with olny 3MP if I remember correctly, and it took pretty bad photos.
The year after, in 2006, i went to most of the home-meetings and also tried to see some of the away-meetings. Now I had a better camera, but still it was a normal digitalcamera. Some came out pretty good and I asked if I could o´put them up on Västervik Speedway´s homepage, and so I did.
In 2007, I bought myself a "real" digitalcamera, an SLR - NIKON D40x. I had had my camera for two days, when I went to Kråkvilan, Norrköping to capture some speedway in the lovely summerevening. The meeting was between Vargarna and Valsarna. This meeting did not turn out as anyone would have ever expected, since it was the meeting where the late Kenny Olsson had his fatal crash.
