DRIVER BIOGRAPHY

Started racing in 1998 with a stock Toyota Corolla Levin driven at Moreland once. Did one sprint in a borrowed Toyota Starlet Turbo at Ironshore. Jumped into a Plaza Autosports prepared Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III in 1999 and entered a Morelands sprint, putting the car on the roof on the second corner of the first lap!!!! Cosmetic damage only though, and finished the remaining runs for the day.

Entered the Tony’s Pizza Rally and won the fourth stage of the day. Various first time mistakes dogged us and finished the day after going off the road twice. Entered the car at Dover and did a best time of 1:32. Bought the Mirage last year and have had a slew of second place finishes, thirds and fourths. In 2003 finally claimed the top spot on 2 events with the Mitsubishi Mirage. Started racing a Honda Civic Type R at Dover in 2003 and in tarmac sprints in 2004. Won Class JC1 at Sprint #1 with the Civic.

Worst Racing situation: being given a call for a flat right when the corner was a left hairpin. Needless to say we went off the road, twisting the front of the car. Copious amounts of duct tape were used to secure the bonnet which did not have pins and hence the christening Dean “Duct Tape” Corrodus ever since.
