About Me:
My name is Larry Flood and I am 43 years old. I was raised on a farm in New Jersey and from an early age, I was fascinated with Motorsports, Drag racing, Nascar, Monster Trucks, you name it. I saw my first tractor pull when I was 10 and I was hooked.
I built my first mini rod tractor in the early 1980’s and in a couple of years I was up to 900 horse power in my tractor. I pulled throughout Pennsylvania and on the TNT Circuit for over eight years. In the late 1980’s a couple of my friends and I got into dirt track racing in New Jersey. I raced for 8 years, had fun and learned a lot. I also built all my own motors, bodies and did all my own welding fab work.
When I moved to North Carolina in 2001, I discovered that there was a lot of tractor pulling in the area including a Mini Modified class. In 2004 I started collecting parts and did my research. The result was a strong rear end transmission to cut down on breakage. Next, I built my own motor with the help of Richard Midgette who is the in house motor builder for our Monster Trucks at The Grave Digger.
GOALS:
Pursue Sponsorship to pull professionally. I want to pull the Grand National Circuit. This sport is my passion. I love pulling.
