[9][10] In 1958, the club signed one of speedway's greatest riders called Ove Fundin, which also turned out to be the last at the Sävedalsbanan in Sävedalen.
In 1959, the team won a third silver medal, while racing initially at the Nya Ullevi and then venues outside of Gothenburg (Vetlanda and Överlida).
[14] Fundin left the club after 1970 and the team suffered relegation, spending their final season at Lindome (1972) in division 2.
They did however win division 2 on three occasions; mainly due to the efforts of Jan Andersson, who won the Swedish title four times as a Kaparna rider.
[1] Fortunes also improved with the team winning division 1 in 1997 (after signing Australian Ryan Sullivan) and returning to the Elitserien in 1998.
The team signed Peter Karlsson to help bring back success and when they added Bjarne Pedersen, Joonas Kylmäkorpi and Jaroslaw Hampel, they won the silver medal in 2002.
The following season they brought back Ryan Sullivan and won the Swedish Speedway Team Championship for the third time (but first since 1970).
