STM's Drag RS Build! Time to go fast.
LOL. Sorry for the lack of updates guys.
We have need busy working on customer cars so no time for ours. Yesterday was a step in the right direction though. Cory put the tilton carbon clutch back in it and we received a new lithium battery from Buschur racing. When I picked the battery up the first time I thought it was a fake. Its extremely light!
The cage is still not done but we did get the main hoop and down bars done the same day we went racing last week. It was good enough to show an effort on our part and have a harness in the car for some sort of safety so they let it slide. Hopefully we can get the rest of it done this week so we can head back on wednesday.
The pulling to the left ended up being a tire issue. While measuring roll out we found one that was almost an inch bigger than the rest. While the cars sit around with slicks on them the tires tend to go flat over time. I think when someone filled them they probably put more air in the one big tire causing it to stretch. Hopefully that will be taken care of shortly as well.
For now the car is staying on the red for one more attempt. If we don't get it this time it will be going to a big turbo for one more try. Hopefully that is not needed as we really need to start prepping the car for the DSM shootout! Our BR motor is just about ready to go in. At this weight and the same power we made last year this thing is going to be a hand full. I cant wait!

I want to know.... what is the actual weight...because I know you corner balanced it.
Have you gone to the RobiSpec full Spherical upgrade for the control arms yet?
Cool to see a no compromise build from STM... by Emery.
.. I can't imagine you go to esta ..
