Powerboat driver, promoter

"Kids today have their heroes, and it was no different for me," Seebold told MLive.com. "Except mine were my dad, my grandfather and my brother. And I wanted to be just like them." Son of 1999 inductee Bill, grandson of powerboat pioneer Bill Sr. and younger brother of fellow nominee Mike, the third-generation powerboat pilot, took a backseat to none of his celebrated family members. Tim started boat racing at age eight. He won his first championship and set his first world record at 17. When retired at the end of the 2016 season, he did so as the winningest driver in US F1 Powerboat Tour history, with 36 wins — five of them in the vaunted Bay City River Roar. He also collected six F1 Powerboat national championships (1998, 1999, 2002, 2004, 2007, 2016) and is in the APBA Hall of Champions. Tim’s retirement marked the end of 77 years of Seebolds racing in the sport. In 2017, he teamed with NGK Spark Plugs to help bring F1 racing back to the masses.
