The MitiGator Ford Fusion would finish the year with 7 top ten finishes and 3 top 5 finishes.

This past weekend at South Boston Speedway, the MitiGator Ford Fusion was in action at the Strutmasters.com 300. Hopes were high as the team had qualified 2nd earlier in the year at the small bull-ring. After working on the car in practice the MitiGator Ford would end up being 5th fastest on the sheets. However an early draw in qualifying would hurt the team and the car would only be able to post the 11th fastest time in qualifying.

Once the race started the sun had came out and the handling had changed drastically. The MitiGator Ford just wouldn’t turn, The team would work on the car throughout the race but the Gibson Motorsports crew just wouldn’t get the breaks it needed to be able to contend for the win. It would have to settle for a 7th place finish. It would be the team’s 7th top ten finish! The off-season is upon the Statesville, N.C. based team, and up next for the team will be to take a couple of weeks off before starting to prepare for the 2011 season.

An estimated 7,000 fans turned out for the Brushy Mountain 250!

It was an all around good day at the North Wilkesboro Speedway, however the finish didn’t back up the run the MitiGator Ford had going. The MitiGator Ford ran as high as 2nd place, but would have to settle for a 13th place finish as it ran out of time trying to get back to the front after pitting late in the race. It had been 14 years since racing had occurred in October at North Wilkesboro Speedway. You can tell from the picture a huge crowd turned out for the event. An estimated 7,000 people turned out for the Brushy-Mountain 250.

The MitiGator Ford will unfortunately not be at the next event at Greenville-Pickens Speedway this coming weekend. Next on the schedule will be the 300 lap event at South Boston Speedway on November 6th. We will be doing another live webcast from the event at South Boston Speedway

Sea Systems Group sponsors Team MitiGator Racing and is the manufacturer of MitiGator™ products. The MitiGator™ Technology is an engineered cushioning system designed to protect people from hi-speed, hi-impact assaults and to allow them to continue to perform their jobs or enjoy their leisure time.  The MitiGator™ uses patented air control technology working with 4,044 surfaces per square foot to dissipate energy before it is transmitted to the body and thus help alleviate problems.  The shock and vibration dampening features of the MitiGator give a competitive edge by the end of a long race.  These forces, when transmitted to drivers, can impair their comfort, performance, and visual acuity and in extreme cases, even the ability to control the vehicle. Whole body vibration in the range of 4 Hz vertical and 1-2 Hz side to side can create loss of control for vehicle operators. This is a resonant frequency (the range of motion is increased rhythmically with this frequency) and operators can be literally unable to control the vehicle. Find out more at our new MitiGator website at www.MitiGatorinc.com.

The SEAS parking lot is directly behind the Wachovia Bank on Virginia Ave. in Clarksville, VA.  Please come down and meet the Team MitiGator™ drivers.
