hummm..the color changing at the bend of the ground strap looks to indicate the correct heat range/timming..
Cant really see the base ring, looks like the whole area might be black, or very dark brown anyway...

there`s seams to be a lack of a 3/4 turn, or full turn of color on the flat area where threads end/begine...(the flat circle area where the ground strap is attatched to))

so..that leads me to think......i really don`t know..seams like an odd combo..LOL

looks ok though, I`d run it if it were me....

was these removed after a distance WOT run?..flipper kept pegged until the motor stopped spinning and all?

Just wondering why plugs would be different for grass racing, wouldnt plugs wanna read the same whether running summer or winter?

lf you are running NGK ES type plugs ( you are supposed to read the top electrode mainly on ES plugs)

l run dial a jets, so to me those plugs would look to be on the perfect setting IF,

l was running as cold temp as i ever did,

That the plug reading was taken at the end of a very long WOT run.

l was as low as i was going to be elevation wise

lf i was running straight jets foir trail riding i would go up a half size ( if you are running pipes, you could go up a full size with stock pipes, there more forgiving). ln my location and riding style that would move what i call the tide mark (dark carbon area on the electrode) up the electrode 1mm-1,5mm.

For me, for day to day trail riding your a little close to lean for my liking. As youve very little to go if you get caught on the lake and it gets real cold etc

Race day perfect. l cannot speak for Tony,to me race day perfect means around 5 degrees air temp and 10-20 % humidity from a lean condition

lf your tuning aaen 800cc pipes on a 750cc dont be tempted to lean it out any further

THIRD SENTENCE FROM THE BOTTOM SUMS THIS UP NICLY. THANKS BUD.
I WILL ADD, USUALLY IF YOUR PLUGS ARE STARTING TO LOOK LIKE THAT, YOUR PISTON TOPS LOOK WORSE. 3:16 (yammie tony)
