Can you cut the threads off where they start, so I can see how far up the fuel is?

How many runs do those have on them, and did you pull threm right at the end of a run (click teh key off and coast off the return road) of did you drive it back to the pits?

They look good. Maybe a little lean but overall good.

Sure I can cut the threads off, may be until the weekend until I have some time though.

These had about three passes on them, and I didn't drive back to the pits the last pass (did the previous two though). I was towed back.

Heat range was a -10, an NGK plug. Power level was good enough to coast a 9.7 at about 133 MPH. The 1/8th was a 6.1 spinning the tries so I pedaled it a couple times.

I use an otoscope to look at the base area of the plug.
An otoscope, if you aren't familar w/ it, is what the dr uses to look in your ears.
Available on the Ebag for not alot of $$.
Mine has rather hi magnification, and has a LED lite source.
WORKS GREAT!
I don't cut the plug up to look at it....
