The South Australian Individual Speedway Championship (also known as the South Australian Solo Championship) is a Motorcycle speedway championship held annually to determine the South Australian Champion. The event is organised by the Speedway Riders' Association of South Australia Inc (SRA). and is sanctioned by Motorcycling Australia (MA).

History

Jack Young and John Boulger, hold the record with nine championship wins each. Boulger holds the record of wins in a row with seven between 1971/72 and 1977/78, all at the Rowley Park Speedway in Adelaide.

Since 1999/2000 all SA Solo titles have been held at the Gillman Speedway in Adelaide, mostly due to the Riverview Speedway in Murray Bridge no longer seeing regular solo racing due to the track renovations in 1999 which included lengthening the track and putting clay in the surface in order to attract Sprintcars and Speedcars. Rowley Park holds the record for most championships held with 27 between 1949/50 and 1978/79.

No South Australian born rider has won the SA title since Rusty Harrison did so in 2002/03. Both Rory Schlein and Troy Batchelor who have won a combined 11 championships since 2002/03, were born outside of South Australia but relocated to Adelaide and are classed as local riders.

Five non Australian riders have won the SA Solo Championship. Ken McKinlay (Scotland), Ove Fundin (Sweden), Nigel Boocock, Doug Wyer and Dan Bewley (England).
