WHAT WE KNOW: Reaume will be back with the same car as last year, a former Darrell Lanigan Rocket that helped propel him to a runner-up finish in the final Eldora Speedway points standings. Two fresh Cornett Engines will provide the fire under the hood when the Canadian hotshoe starts his season at either Florence, KY's Spring 50 or Brownstown, IN's Icebreaker. From there, nothing is set in stone, but the team plans to make another run at the Eldora points title as well as focusing more on regional ALMS events and big money shows. And, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Reaume venture out on the Hell Tour later this summer, if not for the entire tour, at least for select races.
WHERE HE'S GOOD: The 29-year-old driver is solid at places like Eldora, Oakshade, Attica, and South Buxton. His strong runs at Eldora in 2012 has given him a huge confidence boost. He seems to be better on a slick surface and he noticeably rises to the level of his competition.
WHERE TO IMPROVE: Now that Reaume has polished his program locally, we'd like to see him spread his wings and fly just a little more. Venturing out to new and different tracks will certainly help, and achieving the same level of consistency on those new tracks will continue to make him a household name.
DRIVER'S THOUGHTS: "We are going to try and focus on some of the bigger shows this year because I seem to push myself harder when the competition level rises. Then, you are forced to learn or you will never make a show."
I've been watching Andrew since he was a kid. More and more he impresses whoever sees him. He has an eye for the hole and hits it hard. Good luck and continued success young fellow. You deserve it for all the hard work you put in. Dave Edwards
ReplyDeleteI'd LOVE to see Andrew come out and play in the North Eastern Pennsylvania area. He is a great Late Model pilot and like the blog says, I too would like to see him spread his wings and fly just a little more.
