Air Race was and is a growing sport. The task was to continue to grow the sport as well as the brand. To that end, improving the quality of the setup and the relationships with the host cities was very important.

While overseeing this project, MPG opened 4 new markets for the event and laid the groundwork for growing into premiere markets such as New York and Chicago.

Among the major accomplishments:

• First and only local company to produce 2 races in a given season
• Only local company across the globe to produce 5 races within a 2-year time span
• Launch from the deck of the USS Midway museum
• Flying over the sacred tribal lands of the Navajo Indians at Monument Valley

Air Race requires not only savvy production skills, but also quality human skills. The project requires direct integration of many governmental bodies. MPG worked with Homeland Security, the US Navy, US Coast Guard, Harbor Police, Fire Marshals, the FAA, and many others.
