Well done glenn, a lot of hard work paying off. 10's arn't far away
The best of it is, that is with half the amount of nitrous it ran last year ! The new engine is performing better than we could have hoped for.

great news glen it was obvious that you were going to beat gianni this year
One word..BOOM!
Good darts
That's for all you F4R's, Fp7's B18's out there.
Good luck for today, so close to running a 10 now, awesome to what can be done with the C1J with a little experimenting
Awesome effort mate. Good luck for today.
Well done fingers crossed for 10s :-D
Awesome stuff!
Well done fella, that's f'ing quick!
Today would have been an eye opening day for the C1J lovers out there. Glenn put in a fantastic launch in qualifying with a little more power than yesterday making a 1.6 60' and 103mph at the 1/8 only to drop a valve flat shifting from 3rd to 4thThat would almost certainly have been a 10 second pass. What were the chances of that. It's never dropped a valve before and to do it on such a potentially great pass is a kick in the arse. But, if I know glenn, a buggered valve won't get in his way.
Check out the video. It's only qualifying so pay no attention to the reaction time. He's racing James hodson, ex UK FWD champion, mid 10sec 20v turbo + nitrous car. Watch glenn real him in mid track!! James ran a 10.9 on that run and glenn was making ground on him, so maybe a 10.8 might have been on the cards.

What a pisser! Pesky valve collets
**** luck!!
Scoff, where did the valve fail at the collet end or the head end?
Dunno matt, he's not pulled it in bits yet. As rob says, should be worth measuring incase it's trying to pull the heads off the other valves too.
Thats real shame, did watch that vid and realise he wasn't only staying with James but actually powering past him, can spot when valve drop happened too which is real downer as did look like the magic run.
Good going anyway lads, looks like the new spec is certainly working in the right direction.
Any ideas as to why it dropped?
**** times, is it an easy fix as in stock valves and head or is all that lot custom?
Yes, the old cam from my last C1J. That and a couple of other engine changes have really made it breath.is this with your old cam scoff? thats frustratingly close. incredible!!!
Nah, fancy valves but they're available singular so it's not the end of the world. Hoping his head is OK, that won't be easy to replace. Piston probably fubar also.
Dunno mark. rev limit is something like 8400rpm so it'll have been on that during the shift. It might want stronger springs but I'd be worried what they'd do to the cam lobes. Glenn says it feels to go pretty well without the flat shift so maybe just avoid those in the future.
So close!Looked very quick!
When you say flat shift you mean no clutch?
Flat on gas pedal or not lifting off it when changing gear...?
Wow he was really shifting. poor show on the valve.
Not to sure about the golf rear spoiler.
Hope you guys get it back together soon and rock the pod with a 10SQM C1J
Does Glen run single valve springs? Wonder if its worth looking into double ones if he does, know there meant to be abit more gentle on the cam lobs.
