The club was formed in 1946, and arranged their first meeting three years later. The team raced as Njudungarna and raced in the highest division of Swedish speedway for the first time in 1967, following their promotion after they won the second division in 1966.[2] In their maiden season in the top league they finished runner-up to Getingarna, a feat they repeated again the next two seasons in 1969 and 1970.[2]

The club were relegated in 1974 but bounced straight back after winning the second division again in 1975. The following season the club finally won their long awaited Swedish Speedway Team Championship and the underwent a golden period of success. They won the silver medal (2nd in the league) for three consecutive years from 1977 to 1979 and then they won their second Championship in 1980. Three second place finishes (1981 and 1982) were followed by four more Championships in a five year period (1983, 1984, 1986 and 1987).[2]
