About Us

Will comes from a racing family.  I'm his dad, Fritz Wilke.  I've been racing in the Sports Car Club of America for over 25 years and have won numerous championships and dozens of races in my career.  I'm so excited to help Will follow his racing dreams!

Will started off in karting at age 5 at East Lansing Kart Track.  Age 13, he now competes in KRA regional races at New Castle Motorsports Park and in national Cup Karts North America races in his Coyote Zenith.  Will also races in the INEX Legends series at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in his Race Driven Performance Bandolero.

Will has taken an interest in the business side of racing.  He is active and engaged with his partners and continues to come up with ideas on how to do fun and unusual things for his partners.  

Will's interest in entrepreneurship started when he was 6 when he hosted his first lemonade stand at the end of our driveway.  That day, a local entrepreneur stopped by to offer encouragement and advice and Will was smiles ear to ear!

Will made $40 from $5 invested by Mom and Dad that day.   Will's first step in running his lemonade stand was to pay back Mom and Dad once he had earned that first $5.  The rest of the income was profit for Will that day and went straight into his piggy bank.  

When I asked him what he learned that day, he had several answers for me.  He said that he learned that cyclists are not likely to stop and buy lemonade.  Good point.  He said he learned that he could have made more money if he hadn't run out of lemonade.  He said that next time he will buy more lemonade to start and he'll use his profits from this time so he doesn't have to pay back Mom and Dad.

All in all, it was a good lesson learned on how business works, how to pay off debts and the freedom that brings.

Will applied that lesson over the past several years and has since done many, many of lemonade stands with friends, adding to his racing funds. 

Thank you for taking the time to support Will and his racing dreams!

His Ollie Rocket Racing shop will be up soon, we hope you will find fun ORR things there!

Will, Fritz and Kristine Wilke
