Darren has also offered to be available after hours "if that is what it takes to make the difference and get someone back in the air." If anyone needs parts or maintenance help, Darren and his crew are ready for your call. He works in the motorsports community managing Indycar teams and representing engine manufacturers, and understands "when things just need to be repaired now, when ever now may fall on the clock or calendar."
Should weather be an issue the days before, after or during the event Darren will offer to get as many planes inside as possible should Indy Exec run out of room, so keep his name and number handy. He may be hosting a race of his own one day!
