Vinnie Vincent
Racer was the original bass player for glam metal band Nitro, and appeared their first album, "O.F.R.". Racer appeared in their first two videos for the songs "Freight Train" and "Long Way From Home". He played bass on Nitro singer Jim Gillette's solo album "Proud To Be Loud", along with Nitro guitarist Michael Angelo Batio. It was long-rumored that T.J. Racer appeared on the unreleased third Vinnie Vincent album "Guitars From Hell" with drummer Andrè LaBelle, but this was dispelled in an interview with Jason Saulnier. Racer and LaBelle appeared together on the 2008 album "KISS MY ANKH: A Tribute To Vinnie Vincent", contributing a cover of "Boyz Are Gonna Rock" along with guitarist/vocalist Mike Weeks.
