Duncan Motorsports 2017 LSGTPA Season Recap

As the 2017 Lone Star Garden Tractor Pullers Association season rolls to an end, Lane Duncan and his Duncan Motorsports team will take some time to reflect on the previous seasons, and then will prepare to enjoy his 'senior' year of LSGTPA Youth Class competition in 2018.


Lane was the returning LSGTPA Youth Class Champion during the 2017 pulling season, after having earned the title in 2016.  After a luke warm start to the season, Lane would pilot his 'Twisted Kitty' tractor to a win and runnerup, at the Hunt County Fair double header in Greenville.  Lane would follow up with a win and runnerup, at events in Blue Ridge and Sulphur Springs. A string of podium finishes would place Lane in the runnerup spot at the end of the season, just short of repeating his championship run.   Lane would also pilot his 'Texas T-Rex' tractor to five podium finishes on the season, scoring a fourth place finish for the crowd favorite Youth Class entry.



Competing with two tractors in the Youth Class has been double the work, but double the fun !  The team will return in 2018 to field both tractors, as Lane graduates from the Youth Class after 2018.  Plans beyond that are unclear, but we hope to have a great 2018, with several fun bits planned for Lane's 'senior year' along the way !


No major changes are planned for the tractors during the off-season, as both the 'Twisted Kitty' and the 'Texas T-Rex' are both competitive.  The team will go over both tractors and freshen up a few pieces, mostly as preventative maintenance.  Stay tuned, as the 'shop' season may find the team changing plans.....


One thing is for sure, 2018 will be a fun, yet bitter sweet season for the team.  The LSGTPA Youth Class has been a great adventure for the Duncan family, and we will provide several recaps along the way, as we reflect on our journey.



Merry Christmas to everyone, and thanks for all of the supporters of our team and LSGTPA tractor pulling !!  Stay tuned !
