Angie Reed Has a Need for Speed

Written by Bex Russ Tuesday, 12 December 2017 19:02

Welcome our newest model, Angie Reed from Tuscaloosa, AL. Angie got started in the car industry at a young age. As a kid, she would attend shows every year like Import Alliance, as well as other local car shows. Mrs. Reed is a busy woman between working as a Managing Agent at an insurance office, being an amazing wife, mother, and now trying her hand at some modeling. She is originally from Lynnville, TN but she tells us she moved to Tuscaloosa for an amazing promotion. We are lucky to have Angie on board as one of our newest ShockerRacing Girls.

We asked Angie what got her interested in Shocker Racing. She told us it all started when she saw a photo our friend JD Joyride TV had posted with 2018 Calendar cover model, Bianca Owens. Angie found our social media pages and instantly wanted in on the action. With the support of her amazing husband she took the leap and submitted to Shocker Racing. She admits to being one of JD Joyride TV’s 50,000 followers and Angie went on to tell us how she admires the bond SR and JD have, “People like that collaborating together, I think it's just awesome.” Angie told us she has always wanted to become a promotional model and attend car shows. We asked her who her favorite ShockerRacing model was and she admitted “I actually have 3. Bex Russ, Bianca Owens and Sarah Senecal. I would never be able to choose a favorite between the 3 as they are all 3 great models and so gorgeous! They are really what pushed me to get into modeling more. They are great role models that is for sure!”

Angie did a great job for one of her first times in front of the lens. She posed with a 2007 Mustang GT owned by Meagan Thomas. Angie and Meagan have become friends through social media. Mrs. Reed also met the photographer through Meagan and the shoot took place in front of Bryce Hospital Northport, AL. Angie tells us the location is an old psychiatric hospital that was shut down many years ago for for intolerable conditions and improper treatments. Even though the conditions are not up to hospital standards you can still go through and look at the location. Angie told us after the shoot she and the team toured the facility. “It was after the shoot in the dark! It was so creepy and was actually pretty scary!" exclaimed Angie.

SR: What do you currently drive?
Angie: Nothing fancy, I have a 2014 Toyota Corolla S Plus. She is still my baby though, after my family and I get our home built I hope to get a GTR or an older Ford GT.
