Adam Phillips, aged 10, of Hazelhurst Drive, has recently won a string of Cycle Speedway awards.
At the weekend he came first in the Midlands heat of the sport, qualifying for a place in the national final at Ipswich later this month.
He has also recently won the northern under-10 individual championships at Hull, the Manchester Cycle Speedway league's under-10 individual award and taken second place in the British under-10s championship at Poole, Dorset.
Adam has been keen on the sport for the past few years, being encouraged by his dad, Lee, who is a former Cycle Speedway participant, having at one stage represented England at international level when he was active in the sport.
In Cycle Speedway four riders race four laps in a sprint to reach the chequered flag which rarely takes longer than 50 seconds.
But if the basic formula is similar, the speedway connection loses its grip on a sport which places the emphasis on the fitness skill of its riders and amateur competition governed by a comprehensive set of racing rules.
Adam, a pupil at St Thomas's CE Primary School, Garstang, said he took up Cycle Speedway partly to keep fit for his other sporting interest - football.
A former member of Myerscough Juniors he was spotted by Blackburn Rovers scouts four years ago and plays midfield and trains with Rovers' juniors at their Brock Hall ground.
Adam enjoys both sports, and though he says he is not yet sure which he wants to concentrate on, his ultimate ambition is to be a football coach.
Cycle Speedway has existed since 1946 and is one of Britain's most exciting sports.
The nearest Cycle Speedway track to Garstang is at Astley and Tyldesley Cycle Speedway Club, near Wigan.
There were unsuccessful efforts in the early 1990s to create a Cycle Speedway track at Garstang, on the playing field near the scout and guide headquarters.
The national governing body, the BCF Cycle Speedway Commission, caters for clubs spread across the length and breadth of Britain sited in large towns and cities as well as rural village settings.
These venues come alive during the racing season which covers the months through from April to October.
The sport developed in the late 1940s under the influence of motorised speedway which was at the height of its popularity.
