Well summer has been here for a few weeks now, and it already looks like it is going to be a scorcher out here in North Carolina. We’ve been really busy at MitiGatorinc.com, we are always looking for ways that we can institute the MitiGator cushioning system into products that desperately need it. July has already proved to be a busy but rather productive month for us as we have opened our new R&D building in Tampa Florida. One of the first things we are going to be doing is outfitting ATV seats with MitiGator, and then we are going to do some testing to document the results. These are the same ATV’s that I wrote on last weeks blog update. This past weekend we shot some video showing how little support the seats on a typical ATV/4 wheelers have. We will be uploading this video to our youtube stream here shortly.
The MitiGator Offshore boat will be in Michigan for two weekends of racing
July is also busy for our two racing teams, The MitiGator off shore power boat team will have back to back weekends of racing in the state of Michigan starting this coming weekend on July 18th when they look to take home the checkered flag at Harrison Township. The following weekend, July 25th they will be battling for the win at St. Claire Michigan. The MitiGator Offshore Power Boat has been the boat to beat at the first two events, so if your going to be in the area come on by and check out the MitiGator equipped seats in the boat. Who knows maybe Driver Warren Miller will let you sit in cockpit and checkout just how comfortable it can be.
The MitiGator Ford Fusion will be on hand at the Iowa Speedway where you'll be able to tune in and watch our webcast from the Gibson Motorsports pits, and listen to On-board radio communications
The MitiGator Ford Fusion will also be invading the midwest on July 30th when the car will be on hand at the extremely fast Iowa Speedway. We currently are sitting 5th in points and are looking forward to the track where speeds will reach close to 160mph. We will be doing a live webcast from the track and you will be able to listen to on-board radio communication between driver, spotter, crew chief and crew at the 3/4 high speed oval. This is a race that we have had circled on our calendar for quite sometime and our plan is to make the trek and win the thing infront of the capacity crowd that will be on hand.
You can see we’ve got a lot going on so make sure you keep checking back as we will be updating this page along with our Twitter and Facebook pages with the latest news and amazing videos from the month of July.
A weekend of riding 4-wheelers left me wondering if we are just accepting pain and not doing anything to help prevent it.
This past weekend we celebrated the fourth of July by having a bonfire and of course grilling hot dogs and making smores. My brother’s girlfriend ended up bringing over her 4-wheelers and we had a blast riding them. We rode them so much this past weekend. We went over jumps, of course had a few races. We spent Saturday and Sunday doing a lot of riding on our land. This monday morning I woke up to my back killing me! My arms and back were absolutely on fire. But this got me thinking, “Geeze.. I’ve got to get Mitigator in these seats!”
The seats come off the 4-wheelers pretty easily, and it wouldn’t be very hard at all to install them. The MitiGator would solve the problems with my back from riding the 4-wheeler. But this blog isn’t about how we have engineered 4-wheeler seats installed with MitiGator ( which we could ). But rather it is about no longer accepting the pains that come with our passions. If I rode 4-wheelers all the time and didn’t know that there was a product that I could install in the seats that would eliminate my back pain, I would just assume that my lower back pain is something that I am going to have to get use to if I go riding all day long. But the MitiGator is designed to absorb impacts and vibrations from being absorb through your body. Here’s the kicker, it is another beautiful day here in North Carolina and I can’t even come close to riding again because how bad my back hurts. So imagine being able to install the MitiGator in your seats, or in whatever causes your pain to flair up, and then continue to enjoy your leisure time or get more done at work. So don’t just accept the pain that comes with your work or passions. Contact us today and let us try to to do something to eliminate your nagging pain.
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.
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
