Glenn Hi5 - 11.5@123mph 1/4mile today

[Scoff]

Just a quick one to say well done to Glenn for setting a new PB today at a test-and-tune event at Santa Pod while setting the car up ahead of ESC round 3. I was there as pit crew (ha!) and to adjust the map when required. We didn't get as far as trying the amount of nitrous that we had planned because of unexpected rain, but still managed 11.56 @ 123mph and still tuned very much on the safe side. Consistent low 1.7sec 60' too proving that the new tyres and his chassis setup are working pretty well.

Hopefully a lot more to come from that engine, and hopefully proving once and for all that EFI isn't all that bad

Vid here, against the (now very quick again) CPL civic, quickest FWD car in the UK. I think CPL set his PB trap speed this run, very impressive.

[Hi 5]

still a lot more to play with but getting better each run a big thanks to the mad scientist for all his help

[Ian S]

Doesn't that 60ft say 1.228?

That would make it the lowest on our 1/4 mile leader board by a long way.

And the 3rd fastest trap time.

[Brigsy]

Well done mate

[Rob@Backyardracing]

Hi Ian

No, that is reaction time, but to be ignored anyway since neither were racing the tree that day. 60' on that run was 1.72, which is great. For comparision CPL ran 1.70 on that run.

its all about the 13`s sidewall rules

It's pretty funny, glenn couldn't believe how much grip there was. Watch the vid and watch the front wheels during launch, looks to be bending the wishbones

[Rob@Backyardracing]

yeah, i was shocked the 1st time we used them, compared to the old 20" mickeys, there night and day.


cant imagine what 25`s must hook like!

[Markey Mark (BD)]

Agree with you there Rob, at Pod day was my first time using the 22" tyres as was amazed at the amount the they gripped compared to the old 20" ones.
Deff good investment there.

Well Done Glenn, nice to here its still got abit more in it too!

Looking forward to seeing it a Retro car show.

I did but extracting it strained my groin

[Spooky]

I saw Glen do numerous runs on the Pod day and that car was pummelling the tarmac

That is an awesome time/trap speed and if there is more to come, well, that's just insane

[GTphil]

Quality! A big well done on that terminal and launch


More to come?
