Hunter Richards driving a bandolero like the ones shown here experienced just how safe a seat can be when it is equipped with MitiGator

This past week we received a letter from a Father who’s son Hunter Richards races a bandolero race car weekly at the summer shootout series at Charlotte Motor Speedway, I have attended these races before and they are a great way for a driver to get noticed. They will attract a ton of cars, but this also makes it  very dangerous. One of the worst crashes I have ever seen was during the Summer Shootout Series. Hunter was involved in a very nasty accident, to the point where it actually broke one of the spokes in the steering wheel. Luckily the bandolero seat had been outfitted with the shock abosrbant MitiGator material. The MitiGator did its job and Hunter came out of the accident with only a slight bruise on the hand from where the steering wheel broke. This prompted his father to send us a letter thanking us, and I wanted to share this letter with our visitors to this site.

“As a Father I would like to thank you for your MitiGator High Impact Cushioning System my son Hunter’s seat was fitted with at Richardson Racing Products. I see now how that allowed them to build us the best Race seat I have ever seen. I was told of how your MitiGator System works in other race cars and boats, along with the ability to protect our soldiers as they use it in the Military Vehicles of all types. I want to let other parents know that if they have a Son or Daughter racing or they race themselves they need to install this product into their seat. It will make any professional racing seat safer and more comfortable. With the introduction to the MitiGator High Impact Cushioning System as Matt at Richardson’s Racing Products installed it at their facility I became a true believer in the ability of how MitiGator would make our new seat the safest seat we could provide him.

Last Monday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway my son Hunter’s new custom racing seat for his Bandolero Race Car was tested as he had the worst crash of his racing career. As he was practicing he came out of the second turn and another car spun-out right in front of him leaving him nowhere to go but hit him hard. Hunter hit him with his car that weighs in at 765 Lbs. creating a violent impact that caused a lot of damage like the following: we bent the Rack and Pinion steering which is located in the car and inside the drivers compartment, bent the Spindle and A-Frame, destroyed the front support Horns and Bumper, and completely wiped out the Front body of the Car. But to our surprise Hunter limped the car back to the pits with out as much as having the breathe knocked out of him, it was amazing Hunter said he was held so tight in the seat that he absolutely felt NOTHING except the spoke in the steering wheel snapped and bruised his hand. It is my opinion that the MitiGator should be mandatory in all forms of Racing after seeing it work first hand.”

Thanks Again,

Donald Richards
