Exclamation Attention 1/4 mile drag racers...

Check out this months Super Streetbike mag...

Inside there's an article called "Behind the 8 ball"...

They take a stock Busa out of the crate (literally) and have 8 hours to make it run the quarter in the 8 second range...Obvioulsy, they modify it along the way, but they have to get it all done within the 8 hour limit...

Sorry I can't find it on their website to copy and paste, but it's a really good read...

I won't spoil it and tell you if they accomplished their goal...
