TONY WILLE

Tony was born in Tinley park IL and was quickly introduced to racing. Tony’s Dad Rich took him to the drag races at US 30 Drag strip and the local stock cars at raceway park. As a teenager, Tony was fortunate enough to be asked to be on the NHRA safety team at the 1983 mile high nationals at bandimere speedway. After the that week, he was hooked! 

He knew that some point he would have to have a drag car of his own. In 1997 Tony did just that. He enjoyed some success racing his 1969 Chevelle at Bandimeere speedway for several years. Tony had dreamed of someday pursuing off road racing and in 2016 as fate would have it, he met the right guys to get him in the sport. 

After a couple years in a rented class 15 buggy, Tony decided it was time for something bigger and faster. It was 2017 when we purchased the class 8 truck now known as La Ruca. In 2018 Tony partnered up with his friend Andrea Tomba to win the Pro baja class 8 championship. 

Tony also was also runner up in the Campeonato Estatal Baja California Sur series that year. Tony went on to win the Campeonato Estatal series in the 2019 and 2023 seasons. In 2023 he partnered with hid buddy Sandy hall to win the pro baja class 8 championship for a 2nd time. 

In 2023 Tony was asked to pilot a land speed car and quickly fell in love with that sport and is currently working a setting a land speed record. 

Tony is looking forward to the 2025 off road season where he is currently juggling calendars for NORRA, Best in the Desert and Land Speed Records and is for ever grateful to his wife Dusti who has always supported his racing passion, whether chasing or co-driving, 307 Racing has always been a family affair!
