Jake Mayo sweeps Pro-Line Mid Summer Shootout

The 5th annual Pro-Line Mid Summer Shootout was held at Coyote Hobbies with the one day event having more than 260 entries. In the Expert Stock 2WD qualifying it was a dogfight for the TQ honors between Brendan Wheatley and Kamryn Ayers. They went back and forth throughout qualifying as Brendan got the TQ in round one only to have it taken by a dominating run by Kamryn in round two. Brendan went on to the Expert Stock Truck class to take the TQ overall with his round one time. In the Modified 2WD division, Cody Turner took the TQ and last but not least was rising star Jake Mayo. He nearly had the TQ in 2WD but was edged out by Turner in the final round of qualifying. That wasn’t the case in the Modified Truck and 4WD divisions though, as he dominated Modified Truck qualifying and went to take the top spot in 4WD Modified with a perfect run in round two.
