STM's RS is the new Fastest 1/4 MPH Record Holder for the CT9A!
It has been a long couple weeks! But worth it! I'm sure most of you have seen the build thread on the STM RS. We came off the Dyno two nights before leaving for the Shootout with a top HP of 947! She was spinning pretty hard, and was literally doing burnouts on the dyno, so the HP fluctuated, but still pretty solid around 900+
And off to The Shootout we went! And what a trip it was... and I won't go into major detail, but we are all very lucky to still have our body parts and friends. Austin's Vette did not make it... an exhaust was destroyed, a driveshaft was almost split in two and a transmission was swapped in the parking lot! As always with this community, it's just so amazing to see how willing everyone is to help each other!
Onward!
Strapped the RS down at the Buschur Dyno Day and we saw 909 taking the Dyno King Challenge for the day!
Emery laid down three good passes in the RS with a final best of 8.412 @ 177.18!!
Third pass out of a 5 day old build and this car is now the record holder for Fastest MPH in the 1/4 for the CT9A!
We are four thousandths short of taking the E/T record. And what an honor it was to do this in front of everyone at the 2014 Shootout!
On that last pass... the accessory belt shredded and got tangled in the timing belt.... broke every single rocker in half
But looks like the bottom end is good, so the head is already on its way back to Buschur and try, try again!!

Congrats again to the STM crew for the MPH record!! I still can't believe the f*cking accessory belt did that! Good luck on a quick rebuild & I'm sure we will see the ET record broke soon as well!!

It was a spectacle to see this car in person. I'm sure Emery and Co. have the proco boys sweating. I'm eager to see how the battle between these two cars this year turns out.
