Tracy Hawkins aka T-Hawk was a true boat racer who lived and breathed the sport. He touched many over his many years of racing and was a presences at any event, adored by fans and racers alike. As many know he was sadly killed during the F1’s finals in Springfield this past week after a collision between three of the boats. He died doing what he loved, he was someone who wasn’t afraid of the risks and was always willing to push himself.

Several of us at BoatStars have to come know Tracy very well over the years and was always a true pleasure to hang out with and talk boat racing which was one of his favorite things to do. He will be deeply missed by many. Tim Seebold and the NGK F1 crew took some time to put together this touching tribute to the man that was T-Hawk.
