Initial test runs
Initial test runs I have read, to shut down the engine immediately after the shot, in order to read the plugs. So what is the procedure prior to the shot? Can you drive any distance on the new plugs?
You will need a fresh plug with little to no idle time. A short burnout is fine. Don't drive it to the lanes, you will need to pull it to the starting line. Let us know if you have any other questions.
