Duncan Debuts With Win At Delta County Fair

Lane Duncan pulled double duty at the Delta County Fair in Cooper, Texas, piloting two tractors in the LSGTPA Youth Class competition.  Duncan made his LSGTPA competition debut aboard his 'Twisted Kitty' tractor, with a Full Pull on the initial pass for the machine.  He would hold onto first place, and put the tractor on top of the field for the win, at the first event of the LSGTPA 2016 season.  Duncan would also pilot his 'Texas T-Rex' tractor at the event, scoring a fourth place finish after two early shutoff passes, to avoid going out of bounds.

The slightly longer wheel base on the 'Twisted Kitty' entry, seemed to like the very sticky, Rocky Young Construction prepared track at the Delta County Fair.  Plenty of traction, seemed to favor the 'Twisted Kitty', as the tractor was built with a lower center of gravity.  The 'Texas T-Rex' is a little shorter wheel base, and the weight sits a little higher, which causes some handling issues on certain tracks.  The team plans to lower some of the weight on the 'T-Rex', to keep the front end down on the tracks with more traction.

We were also honored to have Steve Mack, with Racers For Christ, stop by to visit and present our opening prayer for the event.  Racers For Christ is a national organization that supports motorsports, and is entering the second year with association with our Lone Star Garden Tractor Pullers Association.  So proud to have that organization as part of the events in 2016 !
