Lamont was racing during the first days of speedway during 1924, racing at West Maitland.[2] He arrived in Britain in 1928[4] and became a star of the speedway circuits and gained the nickname Cyclone Billy Lamont.[5] His first league season was with Wimbledon Dons during the 1930 Speedway Southern League season.[6][7]

In 1932, he spent a second season with Wimbledon and recorded his best test match result for the Australia national speedway team.[2] He would go on to earn 15 caps for Australia.[1] He stayed with Wimbledon on the formation of the National League in 1932 before joining Clapton Saints in 1933.[6]

On his return to British speedway in 1935 he joined Wembley Lions[8] and later doubled up with Plymouth Panthers in the 1936 Provincial Speedway League. He would spend further seasons in Britain riding for Nottingham, Sheffield and Newcastle until the outbreak of World War II.[6][1]
