Talladega

A year ago I was in a field in a tent with about 200,000 other people. It is Talladega weekend. This may be the last true frontier left in the USA. You have to go to really understand. Talladega is the largest racetrack in the world and the drivers obtain speeds of over 200 mph but that is only one small part of the story. You see it is literally miles from nothing. There is no city at the racetrack like most others. It is in the middle of the mountains of Alabama. You pretty much have to camp to really see the race. There are no hotels. You must bring everything in with you and get this...It is free to camp! You just claim a spot and set up. As far as you can see in any direction are campers and tents. It really is like something out of an old war movie. I just looked at the weather radar for their area and they may be in for a rough day. It looks to be a stormy day in Alabama. None the less though, they will have fun. I just hope the weather does not get dangerous for them. I should know. I have been there when tornados were coming through but then again that didn't keep us from having fun.
