After Battling transmission issues the MitiGator Ford Fusion battled back to record it

This past Memorial Day weekend proved to be a very successful weekend of racing for both the Mitigator Ford Fusion, and Team MitiGator Offshore powerboat team.

The weekend kicked off with the Hampton, VA 250 from Langley Speedway. The MitiGator Ford fusion and the Gibson Motorsports crew entered the event coming off of four straight top ten finishes and was sitting 2nd in points. The weekend started off with transmission troubles, which couldn’t be resolved. We were all pretty disapointed but luckily J.P Morgan’s team had an extra transmission for us to use for the event. The team had to change the transmission during practice and missed about an hour of practice because of it. The MitiGator ford still qualified for the event in 9th place and brought home a hard fought 8th place finish. The next event is in 2 weeks at South Boston Speedway on June 12th.

After Starting the race in 2nd position Team MitiGator took the lead early and never looked back!

On sunday afternoon it was the MitiGator off shore powerboat’s turn at the season opener at Ocean City Maryland. The event was a huge success with the beaches packed with people to see the powerful boats take to the open water. The water was rather choppy, but this fit the MitiGator boat as new throttle man Al Colbertson is known for his ability to drive in the rough water. The team had a good draw, and rolled off the start in 2nd position. At the end of the first lap The MitiGator boat had taken the lead and never looked back. It ended up taking home the checkered flag almost half a lap ahead of 2nd place. The  next event for the team is June 11th in Sunny Isle, Florida.

It was a cold morning yesterday at Hickory Motor Speedway. But we needed to get out and test the #13 Mitigator Ford Fusion that is going to be used at the Nascar Legends race on March 20th. We ended the 2009 season on such a run of good finishes that we were sad to see it end. But we are hoping that we can carry that momentum into 2010. Our season kicks off March 27th at Gresham Motorsports Park.

Up next is the a test session at Bristol Motor Speedway. Bristol is the world’s fastest half-mile. We are going to be shooting some video from inside the car and from the track to show you a unique perspective of the high banks of Bristol. Check back here on Monday to see the video from the test.

Enjoy the video!

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.
