DRIVER PROFILE - JEFF REIMER - #5 SUPER LATE MODEL
Q: How do you like to set your LM up? A: A tad loose, a controlled slide is where I am comfortable. If you are too tight, you hit the wall dead on. I prefer to pancake the wall-LOL. Q: Describe your pre-race routine. A: I have a ritual-wash and clean car each time to check for leaks and put a wrench on every nut and bolt to tighten everything. I scale it each time and check alignment between every meet with the crew – I have a list to check off each thing from fuel to water to drink. It makes racing more enjoyable to come to the track prepared. Q: What do you enjoy most about SLM racing? A: Combination-The rivalry between the drivers, figuring out what adjustments to make to find how the car handles different-figuring out other drivers and who to safely race beside. I love the speed and I love the fans whether they are cheering for me or against me it makes it that much more fun. Q: Did you change the car over the winter? A: Whole new set up-new springs, new control arms, new GM crate motor going from the dodge motor. Excited to see how it works. Q: Where did you learn about your new set up? A: Research and talking to other teams. We were a tenth off the front runners last year so we completely redid the set up to try to gain that. Q: Do you drive with two feet or one foot? A: 2 foot driver-mental note every lap “take foot off brake”. Q: Do you have anything you would like to add? A: Thanks Kevin McMillan for running under my number last race due to engine trouble. It was a good test session for him as well as he installed a new port city clip. Q: What’s your goal for 2011? A: See if we can bring that thing to the front even if I gotta turn it around and go the other direction-LOL. TH ACMS POINTS STANDINGS (as of June 4th, 2011)

Q: When did you start racing? A: In ’99 I started in the enduro car raced that for a couple of years. I then built a street stock which I raced for another couple of years before I rolled it end over end. The car apparently held up good as it has been through numerous owners since and is currently the chassis for the Jim Goodlad ProTruck. I then moved into the SLM division and have been there since. After seeing that wall coming at me in the street I figured I should get something faster so I would not have time to see the wall coming at me.
