A FRESH CHALLENGE

THOUGH Corey really enjoyed campaigning the Cortina in Drag Challenge last year, he won’t be racing it this time around. “It was perfect to drive on DC,” he says. “The intake air temperature was 17°C while driving from Swan Hill to Mildura, and it only used 270L of E85 over 1600 kays!

“It was a lot of fun, but this year Brett Lowing and I will be in our Sigma. It’s a low-budget toy we built for a bit of fun, with a single-turbo LS2 – it should make 460480kw and we’re hoping it’ll run high eights. It won’t weigh much, and we’ve used a lot of parts that got upgraded in the Cortina, like the turbo, wheels and axles. It’s not the prettiest car, but it should be pretty fun!”
