Scottish Scratch Track Champs & Supporting Omnium.
The scratch track champs were run 1st and 4 Jets took part in this event, Morgan, Katie, Danny and Lewis.
Lewis & Katie taking part in the youth B cat with Danny & Morgan in the youth C's, although the youth C's race was not classed as a Championship race. Personally I think SC missed an opportunity here to further "hook/reward" the youngest competitors.
All the Jets put in a fantastic effort despite all being amongst the youngest riders in their respective categories, each showing exemplary track discipline on a par with the most senior riders involved. All that coaching is definately paying off.

Full on efforts from the Jets had them fighting it out at the finish in the various bunch races, run as part of the omnium and a couple of pb's at least in the 800m time trials
A keirin race saw the racers fighting for position behind the motorbike before having a blast on the final lap or so.
Good to see so many of the competitors coming from the youth ranks and I'm sure they enjoyed watching the seniors & juniors battling it out.
The handicap races were my personal favourite and I think I may have won the "how far can you push your child round a track on a track bike from a standing start competition" A bit of work on my technique and I gotta be a shoe in for the commy games!!!
Again another day of brilliant experience for all Jets and they did both themselves and the Jets proud with their attitudes and efforts,
