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.

Well done Glen. :)

That records been standing for a fair few years :cool:
Big up the C1J massive!!! Top darts Glen!!!
Is this running a STD gearbox?
Awesome:agree:
Very nice result, sounds like one of those very satisfying moments, great stuff well done! :agree:
the time not the most impressive thing its good but if you had seen the stick it had 16 flat out runs and the slowest run was a 121mph and not 1 problem all day :yeah:a big thanks to the mad sceintist looks like have only 1 more person to beat now so best pull my finger out stage 2 in progress :scared: lol
ps thanks for the good comment
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 :agree:
any footage of the run yet
of course, that was only 112mph a couple of years back ;)Quote:

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 :agree:
Yeah get rid of that TVR & get back into it Stu, you know it makes sence :laugh:Quote:

Well done Glen. :) :agree:
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.Quote:

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 :D
But that wouldn't be a GT turbo :)Quote:

Good darts though. Top stuff :agree:

:D :cool:
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 :D well done guys, and if your ever up north pop into mine and sort mine out!!
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.Quote:
