1957 to 1991
The club was founded by name in 1991 but previous to this the origins of the club were started in 1957, with the founding of the Han Herreds Motor Klub. In 1973, HaMK opened a speedway track in Mou Kær, the club had previously ran Motocross events. The new speedway track was a small track used mainly for 50cc machines. Two visitors to the track were two young boys called Hans Nielsen and his older brother Jens [Henry Nielsen]In 1977, the venue experienced some issues about being able to use the track, which actually resulted in the municipality then helping the club build a new 300 metres international dimensions track. It was built on the outside of the existing smaller track and was open by 1980. Teams called Hanerne Hanherred and Ravnene before the introduction of the professional Danish Speedway League. The venue was also used for the 1984 Danish Speedway Championship.
The team would be called HaMK Brovst for the Super League and they were fortunate enough to have the Nielsen brothers still riding for them despite Hans' commitments in the British league. The team won the Danish Speedway League in 1990.
1991 to 2010
At the club's 1991 AGM, HaMK agreed to split, with a new speedway team called Brovst Speedway Club, while HaMK retained the motocross element.The team continued to compete at the highest level and during the 1998 Danish speedway season, they won their second league title. Hans Nielsen, now in his late 30's was still one of the world's leading riders and topped the league averages for the club again. A new set of riders arrived at the club when Nielsen retired and they included Nicki Pedersen, Hans Andersen and Gert Handberg. This helped the club win a third league title in 2000.
The next ten years were spent battling in the top league but gaining little success. After the 2010 Danish speedway season they would drop out of the league altogether.
