Texas T-Rex Team Prepping for Hunt County Fair Pull

The Duncan Motorsports crew has been preparing the 'Texas T-Rex' tractor for the upcoming Hunt County Fair Tractor Pull in Greenville, Texas.  The LSGTPA event will be held on June 7 and 8, in conjunction with the opening weekend of the Hunt County Fair.  The previous events have provided tricky conditions, with rain during the days prior to the event causing the track to be somewhat on the damp side.  The tire package on the 'T-Rex' has favored the hard and sticky track surface, but not so much the soft and loose tracks.  The team hopes to have a 'soft track' combination with the installation of a set of Firestone tires, which have a different tread angle.  In an attempt to upgrade, the crew also decided to go with an aluminum wheel and tubeless tire package, as opposed to the steel wheel with tubes on the current setup.  A set of studs were installed on the rear hubs and new hubs were fitted to the front.  Chassis modifications were necessary to fit the new wheel and tire package, including raising the seat and cage, and lengthening the upper wheelie bar tubes.  Nothing ever just bolts on !!!

'Texas T-Rex' Sighted at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital For Children Farm and Ranch Day

The 'Texas T-Rex' and driver Lane Duncan were on hand during the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children's Farm and Ranch Day event.  The festivities were held at Reverchon Park in Dallas, and included a variety of farm animals, activities and displays.  The 'Texas T-Rex' crew were on hand to apply 'T-Rex' tattoos and provide information on LSGTPA tractor pulling, while Lane Duncan signed autographs and explained the mechanics of his pulling tractor.  The team had a great time, and met many great children and families.  The organizers of the event put on an awesome show, and there were many smiling faces as reward for the hard work.

Duncan Scores at USABMX Super Nationals Debut

Lane Duncan wheeled his Redline Proline Junior bike to a top five finish at the USABMX Super Nationals in Desoto, Texas.  Duncan rode to a Fourth Place finish on Friday night, amid a very fast field of BMX'ers.  Several hundred racers converged on the Metroplex BMX facility, to battle for the titles in each class, on a very cold March weekend.
The Duncan MotoSports team returned on Saturday to record a Semi-Final round finish.  Duncan, aboard his #327 primary bike, was in position to advance to the finals again, when he suffered a nasty crash in the last turn, attempting to setup for a pass.  The young rider recovered and the bike was checked out, and both returned on Sunday to again race well, just missing the final round by one position.
This was the first national event for the rookie BMX team, and Lane was super proud of his accomplishments, in hanging with some of the fastest riders in the country !
