Mr. Richard McKinney
MitiGator High Impact Cushioning Systems,
As a Father I would like to thank you for your MitiGator High Impact Cushioning System, my son Hunter was fitted at Richardson Racing Products for new custom built seat with the MitiGator High Impact Cushioning System being installed, 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 driverscompartment, 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 back and bruised his hand.
After the night was over I told Todd thank you to for insisting on us installing this amazing safety product into our new custom built Richardson Seat. It is my opinion that the MitiGator should be mandatory in all forms of Racing after seeing it work first hand. Hunter said it was cool he didn’t feel anything but WOW what a difference in crashing a Bando compared to my quarter midgets, the Bandolero hit was the hardest I have ever been in and I am glad to know I am so safe in my car. Hunter thought Matt was cool when he made him a special seat cover that matched his race car but Monday night he was really Glad Matt took the time to fit him and add the MitiGator system to his seat.
Thanks Again,
Donald Richards (Father)
Hunter Richards (Driver)
Well, it took a bit of time, effort, and creativity, but we finally got the new R&D Proto-Type Lab up and running, but it wouldn’t be complete unless we actually had signage. So here we go, and it’s a hell of a sign. So if you are into sports of any kind that is subjected to hitting, falling, shaking, jumping, crashing, or any other kind of roughness (get the picture), look us up and let us know what type of protection you are looking for. We deal with helmets, chest protectors, gloves, shoe inserts, seat inserts (anything from boats, to cars, to motorsports and heavy equipment), pelvic protectors, and just about anything else you can think of that would need protection from shock and impact.
We are located at 7826 Causeway Blvd, Unit C, Tampa Florida 33619 and our office number is 813-623-5900. This facility is our new state of the art R&D Prototyping lab. Our main focus here will be on consumer and Professional Sport equipment, but we will also support our main Corporation of Seasgroup Inc based out of Clarksville, VA.
MitigatorInc. LLC is proud to announce the opening of our New Research and Development Lab in Tampa Florida. Rick McKinney, the Division President, and Barb McKinney, the Division Vice President are extremely excited to expand it’s Seasgroup Inc mother company, that specializes in Blast and Shock Protection for Military Applications, with it’s new Consumer based division and development Lab. MitigatorInc.’s main goal is to utilize the Mitigator Technology found in its Military division, and implement it into consumer based products.
Some products that are being reviewed for development are Baseball Helmets, Football Helmets, Hockey Helmets and full body armor. In conjunction with looking into consumer products, MitigatorInc is looking at professional sports athletes protection. ”We currently have professional athletes, specifically Professional Hockey Players, that are interested in what the Mitigator Technology can do for them. Professional Hockey, and Football are two of the most violent impact/injury prone sports currently played today in the United
States”, quoted Robert Masse, Director of Engineering for MitigatorInc.
“With the ongoing discussions regarding Professional Athletes and injury prevention, especially in light of all the discussions and press by the NFL and concussion prevention, this is an opportune time to show the NFL that there are far superior solutions to the problem than just modified styrofoam. We want to be able to supply a quality product, in a timely manner, that is far superior than anything else on the market while ensuring that our favorite past times are continued to play with as much physical support to the athletes that entertain us weekly.
Team Mitigator, the maker of Extreme Sports Protection Systems, had a very eventful weekend, just not what we expected. So the weekend was suppose to be filled with cheers and people having champagne being poured over their heads in victory, but this weekend proved to be, not quite what we had anticipated. It started off with Team Mitigator’s Auto Racing Team having mechanical problems on Lap 12 with smoke billowing out of the rear of the car. It was unclear what the problem was and Team Mitigator Car 13 went into the pits to see if they could resolve the issue. They could not and therefore never made it back out onto the track.
On Sunday, Team Mitigator’s Offshore Racing Team took to the beautiful waters of Miami Beach to continue on with its win out of Maryland. Warren Miller, Team Mitigator’s Driver/Owner of the Mitigator Boat, had the boat configured for rough seas and the initial glance at water conditions were that of calm seas which gave some concern to how well Team Mitigator would place. On Race Day Team Mitigator was heading out to the starting point of the when it was hit by a rough wave which caused water to flow into the exhaust and created what is called a “Hydro Lock”, water flowing into the engine and the engine shutting down. At first look, it was assumed that the battery had taken a hit and cracked but that was not the case as Warren later found out. The boat had to be towed in and Team Mitigator was never able to start the race.
In High Performance racing, these land and sea vehicle’s are highly sophisticated and very sensitive pieces of engineering marvels. The fact that these drivers and their equipment is driven to the edge of their maximum performance, and the constant “tweaking” to get that last bit of horse power out of them, eventually leads to breakdown, it happens with every race team.
So although Team Mitigator had a tough weekend, we would like to thank all the sponsors of the 3rd Annual SIB Offshore Powerboat Challenge. We will see you next year, same place but with a vengeance in our bones!
MitigatorInc.com makes it to the Legends of Nascar race protecting David Pearson from harms way. Larry Pearson, his son, was in a horrific crash that day, had he been in a Mitigator equipped car, his injuries would have been less severe.

John Gibson, driver and co-owner of the USAR Pro Cup Team MitiGator™ Gibson Motorsports #13 Ford Fusion race team has joined Sea Systems Group, Inc. as Marketing and Sales Specialist this month. Sea Systems was a sponsor of the race team in 2009 and has signed on as primary sponsor for the 2010 USAR Pro Cup race season.
John brings special talent to the MitiGator team due to his unique experiences and education.

As part of the sponsorship program John races using a MitiGator lined race seat that he says is “awesome” at preventing back and leg pain after the races. This experience makes him very well qualified to help transition the MitiGator technology to extreme sports padding of all types.
In addition, until recently John was Technical Editor at Circle Track Magazine and wrote several technical papers for the magazine each month and was responsible for daily postings on two racing blogs. “This background will serve our goals of increasing our web presence using the blogosphere, Twitter, YouTube and other internet tools” says Rick McKinney, VP of SEAS.
“John’s emphasis of study at Southwest Missouri State University was in Entrepreneurship and that is a talent much in demand at SEAS as we grow the company in these turbulent economic times” says Rick.

MitiGator is produced by Sea Systems Group in Clarksville, VA. Gibson Motorsports is not the only organization that thinks Sea Systems Group is a class act. On December 11, 2009, Sea Systems Group was awarded the Clarksville Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year Award.
MitiGator was originally developed as an engineered product that was, and continues to be heavily used in military vehicles in all aspects of combat. The MitiGator is designed to dissipate a blast, thus protecting troops from death. In 2009 MitiGator expanded into the racing industry to protect race car drivers and their equipment. In addition, the company is looking at other applications that can use the same technology thus reducing the stresses on workers, athletes, and others from repeated shock.
“This is a product that has truly unlimited applications,” said Chuck Gibson, co-owner of Gibson Motorsports. “MitiGator came on board last year and outfitted John’s car. John has reported less fatigue and less low back pain especially following the longer races. We are truly impressed.”
The boys (and girls) over at MitigatorInc has been busy this past year producing material to help protect our troops out in the battlefield. Although and extremely important area of business, we would like to make a special request to all of you out there. We would like to know where you would like to see Shock protection implemented in your life. What would you like to see our product in, what do you deal with on a daily basis that is painful, and some shock protection to your joints would be a tremendous help!
We are always looking at new ideas, new concepts, to help people in need, assist people in living longer, less painful lives. If you have an idea, we would love for you to send us a note of what it is you would like to see.
We appreciate your help and hope that you have a great and safe New Year celebration!
