After being involved in Motorsport Production most of his life Neal and wife Marilyn turned over the business to son John in 1999. Neal had also been involved in several types of racing over the years and had always been interested in Jet Engines. In 2002 the decision was made to purchase a Truck with a Jet Engine. The deal was made and after intense training and licensing with both NHRA and IHRA Drag Racing, Neal & Marilyn were on the road with the newest Jet Truck on the circuit – the Flash Fire Jet Truck. With Neal’s interest in flying and Air Shows it didn’t take long before he was racing airplanes at Airshows with the truck.
In 2005 Neal and two of the Top Aerobatic Pilots in the Airshow Business started an Act called Team Chaos Extreme Airshows. The Team now includes Neal Darnell, Randy Harris and Gary Ward. Team Chaos has become one of the Top Acts in the Air Show World today. With over 20 years in the Promotion Business as the Producer of many major events, Neal understands the importance of Showmanship. He knows how to handle the Media to help get that front page photo and story in the newspaper and that very important coverage on the Evening News. Back in 2005 Neal set the Airshow Speed Record of 375 miles per hour racing an Airplane at a Military Base in Florida. This Record still stands today and makes Flash Fire the “World’s Fastest Jet Truck”.
