DUNCAN WORKS TOWARD DRAG STRIP DEBUT

Lane Duncan concluded his LSGTPA  Youth Class tractor pulling senior year in 2018, finishing his 8 year run in the class with multiple top five finishes and a Championship title.  Duncan now has his sights on pulling onto the drag strip, and hopes to debut on the asphalt in 2019.

Duncan has begun acquiring seat time behind the wheel of  both a 1955 Chevrolet, previously piloted by his dad Jeff Duncan, and a 2018 Challenger.  Duncan plans to make his drag strip debut aboard the Challenger, and hopes to compete in the NHRA Junior Street class at participating tracks.

Lane is also working on what will be his first daily driver, a 1978 Z-28 Camaro, passed down from his grandfather Richard Duncan, who campaigned the car at the Paris Drag Strip for several years.

As Lane embarks on his new motorsports adventure on the pavement, he plans to bring along the same fun and energy that his team enjoyed on the dirt !

Stay tuned for updates, as Lane's drag racing debut approaches !!!

DUNCAN GRADUATES FROM LSGTPA YOUTH CLASS

Lane Duncan closed out his LSGTPA Youth Class tractor pulling career in 2018, after an eight year run in the class.  The Lone Star Garden Tractor Pulling Association allows for youth class competitors, up to and including 14 year old drivers.  Lane Duncan has been a regular in the class since 2010, scoring multiple top five finishes and a 2016 LSGTPA Youth Class Championship.

Wheeling his fan favorite 'Texas T-Rex' tractor, as well as his 'Twisted Kitty' machine, Lane has competed in events all over Texas, sharing many miles and smiles with his Dad, Jeff Duncan and his Grandfather, Richard Duncan.

The team will park the two popular tractors for now, and will focus on completing the construction of multiple race cars, with which Lane plans to compete in NHRA and IHRA drag racing events.  Future plans also may include a return to LSGTPA tractor pulling, aboard a Super Rod Class tractor.

The team would like to thank each and every one of our friends, fans and supporters, who have helped us along the way during the LSGTPA Youth Class run !  It has been an amazing journey, with memories made that will certainly last a life time !

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 !
