He's finally done it, Glenn HI5 with his EFI'd 1397cc C1J engine ran an 11.40 @ 124mph today at Santa pod knocking Stuart Clark off the top UK C1J spot.
He did 16 runs at full power, full throttle shifting on slicks without a single failure !
Hopefully he's got some vids of todays action, big well done mate, ready for phase 2 ?
Leader board to be updated with info shortly.
Thats some good going there, good to see it back pulling the good times now after the few mishaps thats happened recently.
Well done Glen.

it is a fantastic performance mate, anyone who knows once you crack 120mph in a c1j, finding anymore is extremely difficult, with, or without gas, as i believe stuart clarke also found out, (added gas and dont think he went any quicker?)
not too mention your short track must be spot on
chop chop with the incrementals.....
fantastic work well done
any footage of the run yet
of course, that was only 112mph a couple of years backit is a fantastic performance mate, anyone who knows once you crack 120mph in a c1j, finding anymore is extremely difficult, with, or without gas, as i believe stuart clarke also found out, (added gas and dont think he went any quicker?)

Well done mate.. Hopefully I'll be going a little quicker soon too

Is this on pump fuel too?
Nice one Glen, thats got some legs!!
Awesome Glen.
lolAwesome Glen.
yes 97 bp fuel
Congratulations, great time
Well done, great result.
I would love to see someone else have a go with my old car.
My last run out was 29th May 2009 and best time was 11.55 but my main frustration was stringing it all together, launch, NOS, etc as my terminal speed was 127 and the 1/8 was 7.55 at 102. This varied but generally was 125 and 11.5 to 11.8. After bending 2 rods and lack of time I gave up the mantle.
This makes me want to start all over again........
Good luck with chasing the tens!!!
All the best
Stu
Yeah get rid of that TVR & get back into it Stu, you know it makes senceWell done, great result.

was stu clarks r5 gt record with carb and without NOS?? if it is thats well impressive on a carb!! well done for the record hi5
Well done Glen.
Yes, I think Stu will always be the king of the carb-fed setup and to this day I think it's utterly astonishing what he was able to do.
I think with Glenn's motor we've found the limit of what a standard piper 285 and cylinder head can do. I saved my old C1J drag cam for a rainy day when I threw the rest of my engine away 5 years ago so that might find it's way into glenn's block along with an improved cylinder head. It would be fantastic to challange Gianni's time next year.
I still think a nitrous motor without the turbo would work better, you could run better cams and a decent exhaust manifold without having to worry too much about reversion, intercoolers etc. Admittedly it'd be a bit pants without gas
But that wouldn't be a GT turboI still think a nitrous motor without the turbo would work better, you could run better cams and a decent exhaust manifold without having to worry too much about reversion, intercoolers etc. Admittedly it'd be a bit pants without gas
Define 'GT Turbo'
Good darts though. Top stuff
But that wouldn't be a GT turbo
how about Renault 5 GT RS?
woooot
An R5 GT with a Turbo ?Define 'GT Turbo'
Good darts though. Top stuff
In my mind atleast it's anyone who retains a C block and cylinder head - the heart of the original car I think. Glenn wants to stay true to the scene and keep it C1J, and hats off for that, unlike some other rougues who cheat with 16v things
i think its astonishing what you guys scoff, glen and stu have done with the renault 5 engines, and it will be rememberd in history lol and make my restoration worth more in the future
Scoff, that drag cam of yours, how does it compare to the crazy cam that DD produced sometime back, which i think Briggsy still owns??
I think the DD would be a bit lairy for a big-boosted or nitrous C1J. It looks to have quite a lot more overlap than mine.
is that that piece of metal you gave to me. where's that go ?lol
Just Open that 710 cap on top and grind it in with a file...
