> Daytona 500 Race Day Bash! by Angie Skinner
January 22, 2008 Kicking off a new race season is always an exciting time for any racer. First you get a fresh start and second, we start our season at Daytona.
Living in Daytona Beach has its great advantages as I get to hear the roar of the engines in January during testing for the Daytona 500 – and I can honestly say that after 10 years of racing – the sound of motors purring at Daytona International Speedway is just as exciting as the first time I heard them in 1998.

> TUNDRA HAS GRADUATED
Hello Everyone! I had to let everyone know ... that Tundra has graduated from doggy school! Thanks to Kelly Blackwell our AWESOME trainer “Big T” will no longer bite you on the behind
or eat all my plants!! Here is a photo of Tundra with his trainer Kelly and Mike as we celebrate with a cupcake for the big man.
He is doing quite well his first day home – only had to get on him twice for attempting “gardening” in the back yard and cat torture. He will be one year old Feb 1st and weighs in at 95 lbs!
We are hoping the Davis’ Dog – Vegas Davis will see the new “mature” Tundra and fall deeply in love with his new image and stature!
