Duncan Motorsports Texas T-Rex Shows Consistency

Lane Duncan continues to turn in great driving performances aboard his 'Texas T-Rex', LSGTPA Youth Class pulling tractor, as the team searches for ways to improve the performance of the tractor.  For the 2015 season, the tractor has improved in consistency, which allows the team to make small changes in search of ever improving performances.

As the LSGTPA 2015 pulling season begins the last half of scheduled events, the team still hopes to debut the second Youth Class tractor for an event or two.  Problems with the number one engine, has forced the team to install a backup engine in the new tractor, in an effort to put the machine on the track.  The team hopes to continue improving the 'Texas T-Rex', and debut the new 'Twisted Kitty' tractor, to enjoy a fun second half of the 2015 pulling season.
