In 1985 Todd Wyllie went to see his first off road race, The Parker 425 in Parker Arizona. He pitted for Class 8 driver Bill Howard. It was after that race that Todd swore to buy his own truck and compete with the best. In April 2003, after many years of hard work and much support from his family, Todd was able to buy a Class 8 truck originally built by Mark Newham for $30,000. Todd and his team had his new truck prepped and ready for their first race in Snowflake, Arizona by September of 2003.

Todd continued to race the 8 truck and raise his skill level. In November 2003 Todd and his crew set out for the Baja 1000. Todd raced hard and was doing very well until he found himself high-centered on a cliff. Digging for 7 hours into the night Todd and his co-driver were able to get the truck back on the course. Todd had one goal for this race and it was to finish the Baja 1000. Twenty-seven hours after starting, his goal was realized. The "AZ Land" Class 8 truck crossed the finish line for the first time.

In his short race career Todd has achieved more than many drivers will accomplish in a lifetime of racing. Taking two SCORE Class 8 Championships in 2004 and 2005 and winning the Baja 1000 Point to Point in 2004. The truck has transformed into one of the best Class 8 trucks to have ever raced. Dominating the 8 Class for two years, Todd decided that it was time to move up to the ultimate Trophy Truck division. In the summer of 2006 he took delivery of his new Geiser Brothers Trophy Truck. He began competing the the Trophy Truck division soon after.

Todd recently purchased a Pro 2 Truck for participation in the Championship Off Road Racing Series beginning in the 2008 season. The inaugral race for Todd's Pro 2 is scheduled for April 25th, 2008 in Pomona, CA. The event will be televised May 25th on NBC, and April 26th on SPEED Channel.

Todd's success has not only been based on his driving, but also his pit support. Todd started with a few friends for his race team and now has over 40 pit crew members. This crew has won 2 pit crew challenges and has kept the truck rolling in some of the worst situations. The true love for this sport shows in this crew's dedication to Todd and his truck.
