LITTLE Daniel Brown is already making a name for himself in the hectic world of dirt-bike racing.

At the age of seven, the motocross Cock of the North star has been sponsored by SCL Racing, of Hindley.

Owner Stephen Davies approached Daniel's father, Darren, after watching him race at Ken Winstanley's Abram track, and now he sports the company's racing colours.

Daniel, a pupil at St John's Primary School in Hindley Green, rides a 50cc KTM and gets his love for the sport from his 33-year-old dad, himself a former rider.

And it has rubbed off on little sister, Georgia, who at four, also wants to ride.

Mum Alison Duffy also attends meets and is looking forward to seeing Daniel progress in the Cock of the North competition and compete in the British auto grand prix on October.

Pole position: Daniel Brown
