Team MitiGator has a successful weekend of racing!
After Battling transmission issues the MitiGator Ford Fusion battled back to record it
This past Memorial Day weekend proved to be a very successful weekend of racing for both the Mitigator Ford Fusion, and Team MitiGator Offshore powerboat team.
The weekend kicked off with the Hampton, VA 250 from Langley Speedway. The MitiGator Ford fusion and the Gibson Motorsports crew entered the event coming off of four straight top ten finishes and was sitting 2nd in points. The weekend started off with transmission troubles, which couldn’t be resolved. We were all pretty disapointed but luckily J.P Morgan’s team had an extra transmission for us to use for the event. The team had to change the transmission during practice and missed about an hour of practice because of it. The MitiGator ford still qualified for the event in 9th place and brought home a hard fought 8th place finish. The next event is in 2 weeks at South Boston Speedway on June 12th.
After Starting the race in 2nd position Team MitiGator took the lead early and never looked back!
On sunday afternoon it was the MitiGator off shore powerboat’s turn at the season opener at Ocean City Maryland. The event was a huge success with the beaches packed with people to see the powerful boats take to the open water. The water was rather choppy, but this fit the MitiGator boat as new throttle man Al Colbertson is known for his ability to drive in the rough water. The team had a good draw, and rolled off the start in 2nd position. At the end of the first lap The MitiGator boat had taken the lead and never looked back. It ended up taking home the checkered flag almost half a lap ahead of 2nd place. The next event for the team is June 11th in Sunny Isle, Florida.
