2012 | Tammy Dawe

Tammy Dawe

On June 12th, 2012, the boat racing community lost one of its most well respected members. From a young age, Tammy Dawe would spend her summers with her family traveling the country and going to boat races.

It wasn't until 1996 when Tammy, 24-years old that, first jumped into a stock outboard and from there she discovered one of her true passions in life.

Over the years Tammy, became more and more involved in racing and the APBA. She took pride is racing among the boys; and in most cases beating them.

Being a female in a predominantly male sport, didn't turn Tammy away from racing; she embraced it. She embraced it so much that she took the time to mentor many of the younger drivers and teach them about the sport that she loved so much.

Tammy loved boat racing, she lived to race A-Stock hydro. There was no class that was more important to her. But when it came to region 12 racing at the Annual Meeting, Tammy ran every class of every category. Tammy single handedly saved A-Stock hydro in Region 12 and many other classes by speaking up and being involved.

Because of her inspiration to others, Tammy Dawe was unanimously voted into the APBA's highest honor; the Honor Squadron.

After Tammy's passing, Ernie and Steven had a tough decision to make about racing at the UIM worlds in Trenton, Michigan. They decided the best way to honor Tammy's legacy was to race and do all they could to win.

Tammy's legacy will forever be a part of the American Power Boat Association. Her love, enthusiasm, passion and contributions to this sport and organization will never be forgotten.
