buschur motor after a hard day of racing
i have a buschur shortblock and i took it to the track yesterday and launched it 4 times then i went out and did like 6 highway pulls, aside from driving the car the whole day. I checked my oil in the morning and i was perfect then i checked in the mroning the day after i raced the car and i am about 1/2 to 3/4 low on oil. Is this a normal thing with a built mottor after ragging on an engine all day?

im no expert but beating on the engine all day is abnormal abuse on the oil I would assume.. no chance to cool down constantly at high temps..I would expect it to burn some off. But 3/4 quart is quite a bit.

You definitely wanna vent the motor! I drilled a 5/8" hole in my valve cover and all my issues went away!

Doesn't sound normal at all. If that's the normal oil consumption rate, then imagine if you went on a road course where you are WOT much of the time for 25 minutes straight. You'd be burning a couple quarts a session! Something has to be wrong somewhere, though it might not be the short block itself, as others have said.
