71, misfire in cylinder 1.

Is it safe to drive tomorrow until the meet where Doug can take a look at it?

Can someone bring a compression tester?

I pulled the spark plug in case it helps. Here are pics:

I know they are both a little off on the white balance. For reference, that is a piece of tissue paper behind it.

I can bring a compression tester for you if I go. About a 60% chance I go.

At a minimum yank the plugs and replace with NGK ZFR6F-11. You can buy them at O'Reilly's.

Do mine look old? I'll go ahead and replace them but I thought I had a little more life in them.

The plug doesn't look bad enough to cause a misfire, but you never know. Check my recent post in GD (or 5g?) where I responded to a question about misfires for the general troubleshooting steps.
