I would say that depends on what kind of racing you are doing. If it is drag racing extend the swingarm to help hold the nose down and learn how it feels and bolt on some of the previously mentioned mods.
If you plan on doing track days you really don't need any mods. I don't know about your experience, but I'll assume since you are asking about track mods you would be new to the track game. If that is the case your best mod is common sense with a set of balls. This bike is faster than 95% of the people that own it. I've ran 2 track days and all I have is an exhaust, a 190/55 tire to give a crown for the twisties, and a map. I went through the whole "what to mod" process and after I left I realized I needed little. Yesterday I got very quick/smooth and destroyed my front brake pads. I hit the kink at mid-ohio running 140mph and had to slow for a hard right. Mid day the lever kept falling and falling. I'm also 230lbs so that didn't help.
So in summation if you had to do something get brake lines, upgraded pads, and drop some racing DOT 4 in the master cylinder resivoirs. All of those are sitting in my garage now awaiting install for the next track day. Luckily the Busa has all the ponies you need right out of the box so don't sweat it. After you get better and faster you'll probably look at suspension since that is a weak spot for this big beast, but again, no need to drop $600 on a rear shock if your not running the stocker to it's potential. Also look into the basic track mods like swapping out to a non glycol based coolant, safety wiring the drain plug, oil filter, filler plug, etc.
As time progresses experience will tell you what to need. Above all be safe and have fun
BTW Pashnit has a heck of a deal on Galfer Brake Lines right now so get in while you can.

I would suggest sprockets as the first money spent. If your heavy like over 230lbs, I would run a16/43 or just a 46 in the rear. Great gearing for both street, drags and road course(could vary for some track configs).
Do the free mods as well. Weight removal, airbox mod. If you think you need to do a tuneup on the bike just for your sake of knowing what maintenance has been done, change to Full Synthetic oil such as Amsoil or less expensive Rotella, change to Iridium plugs gapped a little more than stock and keep the chain well lubed. Don't bother with all short stacks in the airbox unless you are doing engine work. I as well as 100s of Busa owners have proven that the stock config will yield best results on a stock setup.
Once you have mastered what you have done as suggested, then you can start going forward in spending every dime you make on things such as exhaust, BMC Race filter, ECU editor flash module, dyno tune and anything else you can throw at it.
Hint: The stock clutch torque limiter is hard to modulate for drag racing but works really good for road racing when you downshift at ridiculous speeds and rpms....almost works like a slipper clutch and when blipping the throttle with it works great. Otherwise for dragging get the clutch mod.

I've tried and tested/dyno'd almost every exhaust on the market and I found that the Orient Express Sumo exhaust worked best for my gen 1 1397. I gained 11 HP over my Yoshi TRS pipe, not over stock. They make other exhausts for the Busa that are not Sumo so make sure it says SUMO BIG PIPE.
