2009 SEMA and PRI Shows Introducing MitigatorInc.com to the Mix

The MitiGator™ Technology was introduced at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show on November 2-6 in Las Vegas.  Todd Luckow, owner of Performance Management & Marketing, reports “MitiGator™ was a big hit at the 2009 SEMA Show. We introduced the MitiGator™ to many of the Off Road Racers, competition seat and luxury seat companies and all saw the advantage of using this advanced, engineered technology.  One company said with everyone going to larger wheels and tires, using MitiGator™ in the seats would give back the smoother ride and still let the owners style and profile with their rides.”

MitiGatorInc.com (www.MitigatorInc.com) will also be at the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Show in Orlando, FL December 10-12 at Booth 1205 to 1211.  Stop in and checkout the MitiGator™ products.  USAR Pro Cup Driver John Gibson and Monsters on a Mission Driver Joey Stathas will be on hand to talk with you about their experiences with MitiGator™ lined seats.

Joey and Melissa Stathas are owners of Monsters on a Mission (www.monstersonamission.com) and both drive Monster Trucks.  Todd says “Joey can’t believe how much of the impact has been removed in his monster truck after installing the one inch thick MitiGator™ High Impact Cushioning Product in his seat.  Joey was so impressed with the material he has a new seat being built at Richardson Racing products that will be lined with the MitiGator™.”

John Gibson drives the Team MitiGator™ Gibson Motorsports 13S Ford Fusion in the USAR Pro Cup Series.  John ended the 2009 season in 8th place in points even though circumstances caused him to miss two of the series races.  Find out more about John and Gibson Motorsports at http://johngibsonracing.com.

Team Mitigator Offshore Finishes Second in 2009 Miss Geico Triple Crown

Team MitiGator™ Offshore Ends 2^nd in the 2009 Miss GEICO Triple Crown

High Priority Offshore Racing Team MitiGator™ started in P6 in the “OPA GEICO Triple Crown US Championship” in Cambridge, MD on Sunday September 20.  This was the third and final race of the 2009 Miss GEICO Triple Crown which lays claim to the Largest Purses in Offshore Racing History.  The competition in Class 500 was strong in the Triple Crown with some of the leading names in offshore racing contending in the OPA.  Team MitiGator™, with first time crewman Al Colbertson at the throttles, climbed to 3^rd before engine trouble took them out of the race.  The MitiGator™ boat had to be towed to the crane after the race was completed.

Warren Miller, Owner and Driver of the MitiGator™ boat said “I think we dropped a valve. The engine locked up when we got to the center of the race course.  It was pretty disappointing for the last race of the year. At least by starting the race we were able to hang onto 2^nd place in the GEICO points.”  Sea Systems Group of Clarksville is the title sponsor of Team MitiGator™ and the #510 race boat.

Team MitiGator™ had two digital cameras on board, so we hope to get some video and audio from the race.  Maybe we will be able to hear the engine failure on them.  Not exactly the outcome we were looking for but check back in a week or so to see how the videos turned out.

Lake Country Rotary Club’s Wake the Lake Poker Run Winners

Lake Country Rotary Club’s Wake the Lake Poker Run Winners

The Third Annual Wake the Lake Poker Run took place last Saturday, September 12, 2009.  Participants enjoyed a fun day on the lake on PWCs, pontoons and go fast boats going from point to point picking up poker chips.  After the first three stops, all of the “Wakers” met up on the beach for a cookout sponsored by Gators General Supply, Sea Systems Group and Premier Performance Interiors.  The hamburgers with all the fixings from Gators were the hit of the cookout with everyone commenting on how great they tasted. Rob and Carla Masse from Tampa Florida did the grilling.

Later in the day the “Wakers” congregated at the Pizza Pub in Clarksville to celebrate and enjoy some pizza and beverages.  It was here that the poker hands were drawn and the winners determined.  Grill master Carla Masse had the third highest hand, Warren Miller owner of the Team MitiGator race boat came in second and Celeste Janson had the highest hand, a queen high flush.

Holding their winnings are Celeste Janson, Warren Miller and Carla Masse.

Lake Country Rotary Club thanks all of the participants and the event sponsors.  Proceeds will go to support a great cause, the Marine Tech Program, designed to get Southside Public School children interested in science, math, technology and marine trades.  A recap of the Marine Tech program can be found on the web at www.themarinetech.org.

Team MitiGator Defends 1st Place in 2009 Miss GEICO Triple Crown US Championship

Team MitiGator™ Offshore Ready to Fight to Hold 1^st in the 2009 Miss GEICO Triple Crown US Championship

High Priority Offshore Racing Team MitiGator™ is geared up to go racing in the “OPA GEICO Triple Crown US Championship” in Cambridge, MD on Sunday September 20.  This is the third and final race of the 2009 Miss GEICO Triple Crown which lays claim to the Largest Purses in Offshore Racing History.  The competition in Class 500 is intense with some of the leading names in offshore racing contending in the OPA.  Team MitiGator™ has combined a 3^rd place finish at Ocean City, MD and a fourth place finish at Patchogue, NY earlier this year to take the lead (1^st place) in the Class 500 Miss GEICO Triple Crown points.

Warren Miller, Owner and Driver of the MitiGator™ boat based Boydton, VA, said “We have been tweaking and testing the boat the last couple of weeks.  Every little improvement we can make will help us secure our position in the Triple Crown point’s championship run. We even used the Southside Virginia’s Lake Country Rotary Club’s Wake the Lake Poker Run this past weekend to evaluate a new prop.”  Sea Systems Group of Clarksville is the title sponsor of Team MitiGator™ and the #510 race boat.

Super Cat Racing will webcast the event (http://www.supercatracing.com) starting at noon on Sunday and Team MitiGator™ will have two digital cameras on board, so we hope to get some awesome video from the race.  Check back in a week or so to see how the videos turned out.  The videos from the Patchogue race should also be up on the blog later this week.

Team MitiGator Offshore Moves into 1st in the Miss Geico Triple Crown

High Priority Offshore Racing Team MitiGator™ raced to a 4^th place finish in very rough water, thanks to Hurricane Bill,  in the  OPA race “Battle on the Bay” in Patchogue, NY on Sunday August 23.  This was the second race of the Miss Geico Triple Crown which lays claim to the Largest Purses in Offshore History.  The competition in Group 5 is fierce in the Triple Crown with some of the biggest names in offshore racing contending in the OPA.  Team MitiGator™ has combined this 4^th place finish with a 3^rd place finish at Ocean City earlier this year to take the lead (1^st place) in the Miss Geico Triple Crown points.  This also keeps them in 2^nd place in the OPA national point’s race for 2009.

Warren Miller, Owner and Driver of the Boydton, VA based MitiGator boat, said “We should have done better but an unorthodox starter boat maneuver put the green flag out before all of the race boats were up on plane.  The group of us not on plane yet filed a protest, but there was really nothing that could be done about it, other than to assure us it won’t happen again.”  Sea Systems Group of Clarksville is the title sponsor of Team MitiGator™ and the #510 race boat.

Supercat Racing was webcasting the event (http://www.supercatracing.com), but went off the net during the first lap of Race 1.  Team MitiGator™ had two digital cameras on board, so we hope to get some awesome video from the race.  Check back in a few days to see how the videos turned out and check our new flickr photo site (http://www.flickr.com/photos/seasgroup/) for updates from the race.

All of the staff at SEAS and PPI congratulates Team MitiGator™ on the Battle on the Bay race finish and the Triple Crown points lead!

Team MitiGator Ready to go Offshore Racing in Patchogue NY

Team MitiGator Ready to go Offshore Racing in Patchogue, NY

High Priority Offshore Racing Team MitiGator™ out of Boydton, VA will spend the next week preparing the MitiGator boat for the big OPA race the following weekend (August 21-23), the “Battle on the Bay” in Patchogue, NY.  This is the second race of the Miss Geico Triple Crown which lays claim to the Largest Purses in Offshore History.  The weekend features some hot races with the biggest names in Offshore Racing plus music, team autographs, T-shirts, vendors and food for a whole lot of fun for fans and race teams alike.

Warren Miller, Owner and Driver, said “The crew is jazzed and ready for this race. We have a third place finish in the first race of the Triple Crown.  We have a lot of motivation to run good here so we can stay in the Triple Crown points. ”  With the win in Harrison Township, Team MitiGator™ is in 2^nd place in Group 5 for the OPA 2009 points championship, even though they didn’t make the St. Clair race.  With a strong showing here, they could catapult into first place in the points.  Sea Systems Group of Clarksville is the title sponsor of Team MitiGator™ and the #510 race boat.

It is expected that there will be a lot of press coverage at the event.  Talk Offshore will be broadcasting, Supercat Racing will be webcasting (http://www.supercatracing.com), ESPN will be live, Freeze Frame Video will be flying and radio stations will be broadcasting.  PowerBoat, Hot Boat and American Power Boat magazines will be there representing the printed press.

We have two sophisticated digital cameras mounted, so we hope to get some awesome video from the race.  One camera is in the bow facing Warren, Driver Owner and Mack Clark, Throttles to get some good feed as they push the boat through the course.  The other is mounted on the stern, it is a wide angel lens to get plenty of the action and should get some great video as The MitiGator™ catches and over takes the competition.  Check back here a couple of days after the race to see how the video turned out.
