Default Some help reading plugs...

I am not the greatest at reading plugs.. So, what do you guys think?

I had a nasty melt down last time at the track and replaced plugs with another set of TR6's. These have about 3/4 of a bottle at a 125 shot and about ~300 miles just to let you know what they have been thru.
I just put in some TR7's for the 175 shot tomorrow at the track so I was wondering how these looked as I really have no experience in reading plugs. Thanks.







Here is what happened last time out.



I suspect the timing tuner did not pull timing like its suppose to and the NANO spiked to 1400 PSI due to a regulator failure. The NANO got fixed and I am going to pull timing via EFIlive and not depend on the timing tuner.. So, hopefully this time out will be a low 10 sec pass.

Ok if you drive on them you can't read them. first get some colder plugs even if you don't think you need them try 7's to start( since you already melted some 6's)

put a fresh set in at the track. then make a pss turn the car off at the finish line and coast to the return road. pull 1,2,7,8 these tend ot be the widest spread. put new plugs in and drive back to the pits. cut the threads off with a angle grinder,dremel or what ever. Then post a pig with the plug verticle showing the part where the porcelin touches the base. also the strap from the top and side. You could cut these and post em but if you drove on them after the hit it will cloud everything up.
