Tracy Arakaki started his racing career at Hawaii Raceway Park in 1986 and started off drag racing motorcycles. He then went on to sponsor teams on the mainland from his clothing and calendar company called Banzai Designs.

He has served on the Aiea Neighborhood board since 1999. He started the first and only all Hawaii Motorsports Television show in 2000 on Olelo called PunishUM Motorsports. Since then PunishUM Motorsports has been on KFVE and is now on KHON. PunishUM Motorsports is celebrating its "9th" year on the air. PunishUM Motorsports has garnered 4 international Telly awards for its television shows in 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2006.

Tracy has also worked as a news cameraman at the local NBC station since 2001.

In 2006 Tracy became the first and only motorsports promoter to ever hold any race event outside of the now closed Hawaii Raceway Park. For 3 years he had held international "Drift" racing events at the Aloha Stadium and received world wide recognition for these events.
