    New R5 GTT 1/4m record today !

    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.

    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.....

    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

    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 turbo

    An R5 GT with a Turbo ?

    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 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.
