Lane Duncan piloted two tractors in 2016, scoring a one-two finish to secure the top two spots for his team.  Duncan wheeled his #88  'Twisted Kitty' tractor to the top spot, and finished runner-up aboard his  #83 'Texas T-Rex' machine to secure his 2016 Championship title.

A fifth win for the team at the Bill Halter Memorial Pull in Blue Ridge, Texas, would maintain the first and second place standings through the summer.  A top five finish with both tractors at the Farmersville Old Time Saturday event, would find the team in first and second place for the championship, heading into the last pull of the season.

A clutch performance on a very tricky track at the Help-A-Child event at Hopkins County Regional Civic Center, would see Lane pilot his 'Twisted Kitty' and 'Texas T-Rex' duo to a top three finish.  Scoring a runnerup aboard his 'Twisted Kitty', and a third place podium finish aboard the 'Texas T-Rex', would cap a championship season for Lane and crew.  The final tally of championship points, would see the 'Twisted Kitty' 1969 Sears Suburban 12 tractor taking the top spot.  The 1972 Sears Super Suburban 'Texas T-Rex', which once served the Enloe, Texas area with Larry King at the wheel, would finish the season in the second place position, anchoring a one-two finish for the team.

Lane Duncan pilots his 'Texas T-Rex' to the runnerup spot, to finish one-two in the 2016 LSGTPA Youth Class.

Lane Duncan would like to thank all of the crew and team that work behind the scenes, to allow the team to prepare and travel to the LSGTPA events.
