The 1971 Swedish speedway season was the 1971 season of motorcycle speedway in Sweden.[1][2]
Individual
The 1971 Swedish Individual Speedway Championship final was held on 2 October in Stockholm. Göte Nordin won the Swedish Championship for the second time.[3][4][5] The final ended in controversy because Anders Michanek refused to pariticpate in a re-run and was disqualified. Michanek and Göte Nordin both finished on 14 points and in the race off Michanek beat Nordin after the latter pulled out of the race, claiming that he saw a red light to stop the race. The match referee ordered a re-run but Michanek refused to take part claiming there was no red light. The incident resulted in violence between rival supporters and was headline news in Sweden.[6]
