1926 - SINGLETON SHOWGROUNDS SPEEDWAY
In 1926 like many other country towns throughout Eastern Australia the Singleton Showgrounds oval was turned in a speedway track for motorcycle racing events.
This arrangement would only last for one year as the locals saw the need for a more suitable track to be built, this was done in the form of a speedway track built on a farming property just South of town.

1926 - SINGLETON ARGUS NEWSPAPER REPORTED
Racing was held at the farming property for a period until such time as it resumed at the Showgrounds.
