Following the first post-war season at the Claremont Speedway (1946-47) a controlling interest in Claremont Speedway Limited was purchased by local businessman Mr. J. W. Davies. The race program in those days consisted of Solos, Sidecars and Speedcars. His time running the track was marred by power restrictions and poor weather. The 1949-50 season saw five of the first eight meetings rained out. After a break of two months Claremont resumed under new management on February 10, 1950. The syndicate consisted of George Milne (managing director), Jim Wyatt (general manger), Ossie Michelsen (promoter) with drivers Harry "Tiger" Lewis and Bill Stitt on the board.
