The MitiGator offshore powerboat is looking to get back to its early season success at the OPA World Championships

The Offshore Powerboat Association (OPA) is having their biggest event of the year this weekend, the OPA World Championships in Orange Beach, Alabama on Oct 12-17th. This will be the final race of the year for the MitiGator Powerboat and it is looking to put a string of bad luck in its wake. The MitiGator Powerboat started out the year with a victory but engine troubles and rough waves have taken its toll on the Virginia based team.

Not to mention while testing for the World Championships the team broke a drive on the boat, and has spent the last week making repairs to the MitiGator Powerboat. If you can’t make it out to the races but are going to be in the Orange Beach area, tune into 105.7 for a live broadcast from the races. But this is going to be something that your going to want to see in person. Driver Warren Miller is expecting 20-25 boats per class! So come by and take a look at the MitiGator equipped powerboat and check out the races from Orange Beach! Its going to be big, make sure you are following us on twitter for updates from the race week, and check back to our offshore blog for the results!

If you do get to make it out to the race this weekend, stop by the MitiGator Powerboat and check out the MitiGator Cushioning system in action. The MitiGator Powerboat seats have been equipped with MitiGator and protect both the driver and throttleman from Impacts and vibrations that the rough seas produce.

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.

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.
