The Shaw family began Tractor Pulling in 1994 and took to the sport with a vengeance.  Not happy with having the best presented tractor, Mick set out to have the most powerful in its class, the Open Mini Modified's.

Elaine does most of the driving and has had great success, so much so that they have run out of mantle piece for the trophies.

Flat Broke has evolved from a very tidy Chevrolet 350 cubic inch V8 into a Nitro Methanol burning Blown engine that is spectacular to see.

Just when you thought that Mick had run out of ideas, Len Grass and Mick worked overtime to produce a whole new look to Mini Modifieds;

The body is custom made from fibreglass and very light weight.  The chassis is a work of art, incorporating the full roll cage and is constructed from Chrome Moly tube.

Originally fitted with dual Holley's on a Tunnel Ram, these soon made way for mechanical fuel injection and a larger fuel tank for Methanol.

Flat Broke now runs a 6/71 Blower and Nitro Methanol.
