I got the idea from Vitamin Ski's thread over in the  Ski Instruction & Coaching section.
Tuning a race ski is not so different from tuning any other ski in terms of basic idea and methodology but there are a few "tricks" that  are important to know.

Although I am no tuning expert (it's not my job i just tune my own skis) i thought i knew what i was doing until i spoke with somebody that does it for a living. There are specific steps and tools to be used in sequence, some work well for some condition and others for different ones. 

As i said i do not have to knodledge and experience to explain it properly but there are a few videos on youtube that are very very informative and i want to share them with you.
 

Also I would like for those who have the knowledge to share their views and thoughts on tuning race skis: what waxes work better what combinations. angles for different disciplines and different snows and so on.

here are the videos

There are some really knowledgeable people on this forum when it comes to race tuning.

I believe Slidewright and Doctor D had some video tips here.  

Start Haus sells a race tuning video at their shop.  

Pretty insightful stuff to get the most out of your ski performance.
