1928 - COOMA POLO GROUND SPEEDWAY MEETING
A successful motor car and motorcycle sports event was orginised on a speedway track formed on the Cooma Polo Ground, and the programme attracted a good crowd, several competitors fell in the motorcycle race but there were no casualties.
1969 - ALPINE SPEEDWAY
Alpine Speedway was promoted by the Cooma Auto Racing Club, the track was opened in 1969, as the track was built on the side of a hill it meant that the front straight was higher than the back straight, because the racing was in an anti-clock wise direction, this made turns one and two downhill, with three and four uphill.
Local councillor Rogan Corbett was one of the initial co-founders of the club and the speedway. The speedway closed in 1976.
