Videos of Andy (shaggy) and I on the second day of the Tour have been posted to the Go Fast Video site. We were both a ways off of the pace on Sunday, though.
It always looks so slow in video...

Hey folks, just wanted to say that the SD Tour was a hoot and it was nice to meet some of you west coast S2ki folks. I know I'm really late in jumping in on this thread, but I'm finally home in Chicago and back online. First of all I'd like to thank Tony (Payneinthe) for letting me co-drive his car. I hope I wasn't too much of a payne 
. I'm really glad I brought the rear A3S04s with me on the plane
Big thumbs up to Mitch who put it all together on the final run on Sunday. I'm just happy I got wood That, and the fact that I got to autox for the first time since our season ended in October. You Cali people got it made. Off-season? What off-season? I hope to see all you guys again, maybe at Topeka (if I ever find an S2k to drive).

I felt bad for the Z4 in B Stock and the Boxsters and S2000s in A Stock, all of which must have lost several tenths to their more powerful competition before the course really got started in earnest.

just a little late to the party
to be honest I don't think power was ever an issue for me, but no LSD, conage, and sound issues were. I've never encountered as bad of wheelspin as I did on the SD surface, spinning the outside rear tire in 3rd gear all the way around the finish turn was a bit frustrating
and then my only clean time for each day was my also my slowest raw time for each day - the Z4 was moving around so much on this surface that I failed to keep it clean when it counted. Given the overall circumstances I was ok with the result, had I been able to put the power down and stay off the cones IMO the Z4 would have been right in there duking it out.

I'm confused about the physics at play here -- in a car with an open diff, shouldn't the inside rear tire spin before the outside one?
