First win !!!

Well, the 'lil man did it ! After his rookie season in 2010, my driver has come out swinging in 2011 and has put his Texas T-Rex in the winners circle !

The LSGTPA event in Greenville, Tx at the Hunt County Fair, proved to be the event where the planets were aligned just right, to bring Lane his first win.

After Haley Harrelson opened with the National Anthem....



...Lane got to work







And, after a long night, we unloaded the next morning with the hardware !! (and nothing broken)



THANK YOU, to Hunt County Fair and Greenville, Texas, Crawford-Smith and all the great sponsors of the event !!

TSC Hy-Run brand, uncut and unsensored (for now) I think we can improve in our tire package...but on some tracks, I think these work pretty well. Here's a couple of vid's from the on-board GoPro...




We, by no stretch, have the tires figured out (or anything else for that matter), but for this one weekend, we just had our combination close enough, that when luck took over, we came out pretty good

Thank ya'll so much ! We have had a blast this year. I have found that there is a lot more to pulling than just horsepower. I have had a time trying to adjust to the different tracks....I don't seem to be improving at all on my tuning skills ! We need to stop making changes to the tractor between events.....if my driver figures out that I keep messing stuff up, he's gonna fire me !
