Make sure you come out to Bristol for the September 11, 2010 USAR Pro Cup Championiship Series Race #2.  For those of you who cannot make it to the track, tune in to MitiGatorinc.com for a live webcast from the “World’s Fastest Half-Mile”.

This is the first event for the 2010 USAR Pro Cup Series Championship series. What makes the USAR Pro Cup Series unique is they reset the points after their regular season is over. After the event at Langley Speedway, the MitiGator ford fusion comes into Concord 5th in points and only 30 points behind the point leader.

You will be able to listen live to radio communications between the MitiGator Ford Fusion and the entire Gibson Motorsports crew. Usually for this type of coverage you have to pay a fee. This is a free broadcast you can watch by simply coming to this site on August 28th at 7pm.

By now I would hope you know what MitiGator is, but everyday we get new visitors to our blogs and this site with the same question. How can Mitigator help me? Well the answer to that quesiton is, it all depends. MitiGator is an engineered cushioning system that is designed to eliminate vibrations and impacts. It was originally designed to protect military crews from IED and mine blasts as well as during helicopter crashes, we have a track record in protecting people from severe impacts (20 to 300+ Gs). There are over 75,000 US military vehicles that use the MitiGator for impact protection.

So back to the answer, it all depends on what you need it for. For instance, if you’re a Motorcycle rider that has enjoyed a lifetime of riding. But have always hated the back pain that comes with it. Then, we can install MitiGator into your motorcycle seat and help eliminate the back pain that comes from riding. The MitiGator will absorb the bumps and vibrations from the open road so that your back doesn’t have to. We have received testimonials and first hand experience that MitiGator can help eliminate lower back pain.

Or if you love playing paint-ball, but can’t stand the bruises that you end up with the day after. Then we can install MitiGator into your chest protector and eliminate those annoying bruises. As you can see the applications are endless, so send me an email today (John@MitiGatorinc.com) and let me know how we can help you!

The next live webcast will be from the famed Concord Speedway on August 28th.

During our last broadcast from the Iowa 150 we had over 500 viewers log on to watch the MitiGator Ford Fusion from the pits of Gibson Motorsports. Unfortunately the race didn’t end the way we were hoping it would. So we’ve decided to do another webcast from the pits again at the 1/2 mile Concord Speedway on August 28th. Our hope this time is to break the 1,000 viewer mark!

Just like our last webcast you will be able to listen in during the event to live radio communication between the Gibson Motorsports crew. This was a feature that we added for the first time during the Iowa event. The radio communication is crystal clear over the webcast. If you didn’t tune in for the Iowa broadcast, you don’t know what your missing!

The MitiGator Ford Fusion finished 6th at last years Concord event and looks to get away from this bad luck that has been plaguing the last 3 races. So tune in around 7PM on August 28th to watch and listen to the MitiGator Ford rocket around the extremely fast half-mile speedway.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 6, 2010 –
June 23 2010

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)

the MitiGator Ford #13 salvaged what it could after being caught up in someone else's mess on lap 1. It would post an 11th place finish

Over 500 people logged on to our webcast this past friday night to watch the Blue Ox 150 from Iowa Speedway. I suspect there could of been more, but the late start of the race because of the rain probably kept a lot of you folks on the east coast from logging on. You can still watch the broadcast in it entirety from our youstream page. This was the first event where you could listen to live in-race audio from the Gibson Motorsports crew. The webcast was a huge success and we are planning on doing more!

I wish the same could be said about the MitiGator Ford Fusion. The MitiGator Ford was strong during practice and was poised to try to race for the win at the extremely fast Iowa short track. However with qualifying being rained out the MitiGator Ford would be lined up in 10th spot to start the race. This would prove to be another case of bad luck, when the field took the green flag someone a few rows up missed a shift coming to the green flag and stacked up the field and caused a 4 car pileup. Because of the  10th place start, the MitiGator Ford had no where to go and was caught up in the lap 1 crash. the team salvaged what they could and eventually settled for a 11th place finish. A disappointing day to say the least.

Thanks again everyone who logged on and made our webcast a success.

The MitiGator offshore powerboat will be at St. Claire Michigan on July 23-25th. Come by and check out the MitiGator equipped seats in the Off-shore Powerboat!

I received an email this past weekend from the MitiGator Off Shore Powerboat’s driver Warren Miller this past weekend with some disappointing news. The team is preparing for what is turning out to be one of the biggest events of the year. This coming weekend at St. Claire Michigan the MitiGator Off-shore powerboat will take to the choppy water at its only freshwater event.

Warren had made all of the repairs to the boat since the race at Florida sidelined the team with some damage. The team took the boat out on the water this past week to ensure that everything was fixed. During testing, the engine broke a roller and “trashed the motor” according to warren. Luckily one of the areas that they addressed this off-season was the addition of a spare motor for cases like this. The spare is in the boat and the team is again testing before the race on July 25th. The next 2 weekends will be spent in Michigan, so if your going to be in the area come by and check out the Mitigator equipped off-shore powerboat this sunday. The race will not disappoint!

This race Warren will actually be taking time away from the driver’s seat and will be acting as a throttle-man. The course at St. Claire has right hand turns instead of left, So warren is substituting a new driver and is going to try to take home the checkered flag for the MitiGator Off-shore Powerboat!

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.
