The race was held in two stages , where every competitor rode the track twice , counting his best time for the overall results . Gunnar Kalén and Ragnar Sunnqvist – both on factory Husqvarnas – were big favorites of the day . The big question was who would be fastest up the Klevaliden . It turned out that both idols were winners – in different classes ! Tutto , Husqvarna !
In 1934 the venue was upgraded to host the “ Nordic Hill Climb Championship ”, which drew an even bigger crowd . It is estimated that 14,000 people came to watch on this warm mid-August Sunday . Extra trains had been called in to transport spectators from near and far . And the track had been lengthened by 200 meters , which made the event even more spectacular .
