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 !

Duncan Posts Podium Finishes For Season Finale
Lane Duncan would wheel his two entries at the LSGTPA 2017 season final, into the top three spots, for a great podium finish for the Duncan Motorsports team. Lane would post a runnerup finish aboard his 'Twisted Kitty' tractor, and would follow with a strong finish aboard his 'Texas T-Rex' machine with a third place scoring.
After a one-two finish in 2016, scoring the Youth Class Championship aboard his 'Twisted Kitty' tractor, Lane would pilot his 'Twisted Kitty' entry to a runnerup finish in 2017 championship points, just missing a repeat championship. Lane would also place his 'Texas T-Rex' tractor in the top five in the LSGTPA Youth Class for the year.
The final event of the season was a feature of the Help-A-Child Benefit in Sulphur Springs, Texas. The event was hosted by the Hopkins County Regional Civic Center, and included a full day of tractor pulling action, inside and under the lights of the awesome arena.

Farmersville Old Time Saturday Recap
As the Duncan Motorsports Team rolled into Farmersville, Texas for the Old Time Saturday Pull, Lane Duncan and crew were confident that a good performance was in store for the great crowd of pulling fans. Both the 'Texas T-Rex' tractor and the 'Twisted Kitty' tractor were prepped and ready, after a great showing and a victory from the previous event. Riding in second place, in the LSGTPA 2017 points standing, Lane was excited at the opportunity to pull closer to the top spot, and make a run for the title at the season finale.
During the card draw, to decide the pulling order, Lane placed his 'T-Rex' tractor atop the run sheet, with an 'Ace' card from the deck. With the 'T-Kitty', Lane would draw a 'Deuce', placing his two machines in a one-two order for the day. The team was pretty excited to open the show, and looked to be in great shape, after posting two Full Pull's in the opening round. That's when the rule book bit us.
A rule in the LSGTPA book, taken from other associations, calls for an adjustment to the sled in the case of the first two pullers posting a Full Pull. This rule, is commonly used in pulling organizations that only provide one hook, to score the event. The LSGTPA group, uses a combined total of two hooks, to score the event, making the rule unnecessary, and sometimes ignored. On this day, however, officials chose to recalibrate the sled. The effect on our team, was to take away our first two pulls, and place us last in the line of pullers with two hot tractors.
The 'Twisted Kitty' was able to return and make a decent pull in the opening round, and make up some ground in the second round, to post a fourth place finish. The 'Texas T-Rex' tractor, on the required re-hook, was on a decent run, when the tractor suffered a couple of hard bounces, that knocked the transmission out of gear. Not to make excuses, only providing the unusual chain of events that provided for a very challenging day for the team. We enjoyed a great day for pulling, and visited with some awesome fans, but did not turn in the performance that we had expected. On this day, it just wasn't in the cards !
Going forward, we have already formed a game plan to prevent such an event from occurring again. So, lessons learned ! The team apologizes for the lackluster performance on the day, to our fans and supporters, but we are hoping to rebound at the 2017 season finale, and look forward to capping the year with a great event in Sulphur Springs. Our final event will be contested at the Help-A-Child-Benefit, held at the Hopkins County Civic Center in Sulphur Springs. Lots of activities are planned for the day, and we are excited to once again be a part of this great event !
Come support us, and all of the LSGTPA pullers, as well as an awesome event at the Help-A-Child-Benefit !
