DUNCAN MOTORSPORTS DOUBLES AT LINDSAY TRUCK & TRACTOR PULL

Lane Duncan and his Duncan Motorsports pulling team rolled into Lindsay, Texas for the Lindsay Truck & Tractor Pull, on a hot Texas weekend for some LSGTPA tractor pulling.  Lane and the Duncan team would unload two tractors, to compete in the LSGTPA Youth Class.  Lane would wheel his familiar 'Texas T-Rex' tractor, as well as making his Lindsay debut aboard his new 'Twisted Kitty' machine.

The Enloe Museum staff, of Enloe, Texas, sponsored the Friday night event for the LSGTPA Youth Class.  The Butterfield Overland Stage Classic event would showcase the LSGTPA, and the Youth Class competitors, in front of a great crowd of pulling fans at the Lindsay Truck & Tractor Pull arena.
Lane would draw the 'Ace' card, which place him pulling first in the field, aboard his 'Texas T-Rex' tractor, and would draw the 'Eight' card for his 'Twisted Kitty'  placing him as pulling last in the class.  The 'Aces & Eights' cards, would have Lane book ending the class, pulling first and last aboard the Duncan Motorsports Team machines.  Lane would pilot his 'Texas T-Rex' tractor to the win on Friday night, topping a very tough field of Youth Class competitors.  Lane would also place his 'Twisted Kitty' tractor, in the fourth place position, after a great night of pulling.

Saturday night action saw the LSGTPA Youth Class open the show for the M K & T Railroad Shootout, with Lane Duncan again drawing the 'Ace' card to start the show, this time aboard his 'Twisted Kitty' tractor.  After a tire swap for the 'Twisted Kitty' tractor, Lane would open with a Full Pull on the 200 foot track, and never looked back, taking the win in the class aboard 'Twisted Kitty'.  Lane would pull in the fifth spot, in the middle of the field, aboard his 'Texas T-Rex' tractor, and would open the round with another Full Pull and finish in the Runner Up position aboard the crowd pleasing 'Texas T-Rex' tractor.  Lane would finish one and two on the night, placing his 'Twisted Kitty' tractor on top, with the 'Texas T-Rex' just five inches behind for the runnerup spot !  The LSGTPA Youth Class was incredibly tough, with tight finishes resulting in an 18 inch spread between the top five positions !  Just incredible !

Lane Duncan and his Duncan Motorsports team were fortunate to take the win on both Friday and Saturday nights, competing in an incredibly tough and close LSGTPA Youth Class field of competitors.  All of the drivers and teams in the LSGTPA Youth Class, provided the packed house of fans at the Lindsay arena, a great show for the weekend event.

Make your plans to attend the Lindsay Truck & Tractor Pull, for a great night of pulling action !

Duncan Team Battles At Bonham

Lane Duncan and his Duncan Motorsports Team rolled into Bonham, Texas for the Battle At Bonham LSGTPA tractor pull, held at Powder Creek Park.  The team returned to Bonham, having scored a win on the track during their previous visit.

With July temperatures hovering around the century mark, the track temperature was over 115 degrees, but moisture underneath the surface, provided for tricky pulling conditions.  Lane and crew unloaded both the 'Texas T-Rex' and the 'Twisted Kitty' tractors, rolling on Firestone tires for the event.  With the tricky and inconsistent surface of the 200' track, data on the new tires for the 'Twisted Kitty' would end up inconclusive.

Lane would pilot the 'Texas T-Rex' to a 155' pull in the opening round, good for a third place position.  The 'Twisted Kitty' dug in at the 111' mark in the first round.  Round two, both tractors improved, with the 'Texas T-Rex' pulling down the middle and posting a 156' pull.  Lane piloted the 'Twisted Kitty' downtrack on a better line in the second round, posting at 165' pull.    On the day, Lane would place his 'Texas T-Rex' in the runnerup spot, with 'Twisted Kitty' improving to a fourth place finish.

The team had hoped for another win and runnerup, but with challenging track conditions, a little more luck would have been necessary to improve the finish  on this day !  The team will now prepare for the two day pull at the Lindsay Truck & Tractor Pull on July 22 and 23.

DUNCAN TEAM TESTS 23 DEGREES OF SEPARATION

Lane Duncan and his 'Texas T-Rex' pulling tractor, have found some consistency in the last few LSGTPA pulling events.  Some of the performance has been attributed to the 23 degree Firestone tires, and finding the appropriate air pressure for varying track conditions.

A set of Hi Run 45 degree tires, have been used on some of the harder tracks, with good results.  These tires seem to perform well on tracks with a hard and sticky surface, but do not seem to favor the loose or sandy track conditions.

Lane Duncan attributes some consistency to Firestone pulling tires on his 'Texas T-Rex'.

Lane's newest entry, his 'Twisted Kitty' Suburban tractor, has debuted using the Hi Run 45 degree tires, with good results.  The team has now acquired a set of the Firestone 23 degree tires, for which to test on the 'Twisted Kitty', when track conditions might seem to favor the steeper cut lug.

Lane Duncan will be testing different lug angles, on the pulling tires of  his 'Twisted Kitty' LSGTPA pulling tractor.

Pulling teams constantly fine tune their machines pulling tires, using grinding wheels to sharpen and shape the lugs and tire surfaces.   Tire pressures are adjusted according to track conditions, and weight is moved to try and balance the loads on the tires, to match the track surface.

Duncan Team Pulls Out Win At Powder Creek Park

Lane Duncan turned in a good performance at the Bonham Heritage Day LSGTPA tractor pull, at the historic Powder Creek Park facility in Bonham, Texas.  Duncan and team unloaded two tractors for competition in the LSGTPA Youth Class.  The old standby 'Texas T-Rex' tractor drew the first card, and would take to the track first.  The newly completed 'Twisted Kitty' tractor, would pull last in the class. 

During the opening round, Lane made good pulls on both tractors, with the 'Texas T-Rex' tractor holding onto the lead.  After the first pull of the second round, Lane elected to drop the 'T-Rex' tractor to the back of the field.  Once the dust had cleared, Lane had positioned his tractors in first and second place, with the 'Texas T-Rex' taking the win, and the 'Twisted Kitty' finishing in the runner up spot.

On the day, the team had a great outing on a pretty peculiar track.  The surface was sticky, and somewhat spongy underneath.  The completely different setups on both tractors, helps the team determine what each track requires, and is providing and interesting lesson at each event.   Hopefully, campaigning the two tractors with different setups, will help the team in the long run, in learning the benefits of each combination. 

Thanks to everyone who supports LSGTPA tractor pulling, and to all those who help us compete !  We appreciate everyone who helps us get to play in the dirt !!
