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...
