ABOUT ME
Introduction
In Memory of Jeff Healey (1966-2008 )
My name is Eric and have been a NASCAR fan for quite a while. I have a daughter named Kayla (She'll be 7 in April) and she is also a NASCAR fan. Of course, she likes JR and she is a fan of Mark
Martin...who can argue??
For Kayla: Congrats Mark, First Busch..err... Nationwide Victory since 2005!!
It's also the first win for JR Motorsports!!
My username, Taps88, comes from Jr's new number and The Atlantic Paranormal Society: TAPS (Ghost Hunters on the Sci-Fi Channel) I never miss either, when on TV. Speaking of TV, some of my
favorite shows are: Seinfeld, any reruns of Band of Brothers, The Comedy Channel, The History Channel and Mythbusters.
(Me in Kevin Harvick's Pit Stall: Michigan)
Like Father, Like Son;
I began following NASCAR by rooting for Dale Sr and have a big collection of his stuff. When Dale Jr was running in the Busch Series, I began to root for him too.
And it's true......
In 2001, I also started to follow Kevin Harvick. I think there's a bit of RCR, in the blood of all Earnhardt fans. The win in Atlanta did more for us than he knows!
My friends and I attend the Martinsville Spring Race, Michigan and new for this year, we are headed to Darlington!!! I can't wait to see them run under the lights!
Below is some of the music I like. Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden and so on....not your normal NASCAR Fan Music huh? I listen to just about anything...well no RAP!!!
I have been studying and playing guitar for a long time now. That's why you see many instrumentals, in my music player. Marty Friedman, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, plus my metal side. I like
April March too (Chick Habit) From the movie by Quentin Tarrintino; Grindhouse...Deathproof.
My hobbies
My hobbies include, NASCAR of course; Serious Guitar playing: Marty Friedman being my Guitar Hero and building all sorts of scale models. I also spend all the time I can, with my daughter...she's
my number one!
My NASCAR Hero. I Will
ALWAYS
be a fan.
"Even Worse Than Seeing Dale In Your Mirror....Is Not Seeing Him At All....
Below are some basic kits found in many hobby stores. Not good enough! I also create the additional sponsor decals needed, that don't often come in the kits. Heck, I even add the spoiler braces.
Well, those were needed on the "Twisted Sister" cars. Not on the Car of Tomorrow (Car of Today?) With the addition of the new wing. All are airbrushed.
I build special models upon request. If you want a car built, let me know. I do it for fun, not for a big profit. It doesn't have to be an Earnhardt car, either. I can do em' all.
Send me a message, if you have something in mind. Give me a few months notice, I need to research and get the materials needed.
