After freshening the 499 up this winter I finally got it to the track for Northstar Dragways first bracket race. Ended the night running a best of 5.96@114! This is at 3300lbs footbraking. Car is working great with the lighter front springs I put on the front pulling the wheels 8-10" in the air. Been shooting for those 5's for a long time and finally got them. Weather was that great either so there is a low 5.90 in there somewhere. Thanks all you guys for the help over the years.

Good job Jacob. I thought I might get min ethis weekend and probably could of if I would ever try a change to anything, but I fell short at 6.02@113.7.

Nice running combo you have.
