It was with only 17 days' notice that Discovery Events, which owns the rights to the Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway of Nations, approached the staff at Vojens Speedway Center to find out if they would be able to hold this year's Speedway of Nations, which are the team world championships for both senior and U21.
- My first thought was that it would be a disaster for Danish speedway if this year's Speedway of Nations could not be carried out on Danish soil as originally planned, and possibly had to be run in another country, says director Jacob Olsen from Speed1Way, who runs it national danish speedway arena.
- It was Vojens or nothing.
- Then I contacted the closest in my staff, where it quickly turned out that one was ready to skip vacations and jump in work clothes.
Since then, Jacob Olsen and manager Helge Frimodt Pedersen have worked almost around the clock to make the gigantic puzzle connected with having to run four international speedway races in four days in week 30.
- The list of things to be ready is long. Everything imaginable, just from ordering draft beer and sausages, officials, security guards, and numerous other challenges requires ice in the stomach. But I also think we feel a good support, so I am convinced that we will get a world-class event stacked on its legs, says Jacob Olsen.
- We really hope that Danish speedway fans will show up, because I am quite convinced that Denmark has good chances for medals, both at senior and at U21, so it can be something of a red and white party, says Jacob Olsen.
