Talladega Alabama was the next port for of call for the Jeff Gordon Racing School.� We left Concord about 12:30 and arrived in Talladega about 8 pm.� It was a little late to go to the race track so we went directly to the hotel.� Arriving at the hotel is usually pretty uneventful.� Well not this time.� At first glance it looked like a scene from Animal House.� Most of the doors on the hotel rooms were open, people had had chairs outside and were hanging out on the balcony and there were kids every where.� When I got to my room there was a 2 year in his diaper outside playing with a paper plate and a very large black bug!!!!� Come to find out that the hotel was housing people who had been evacuated from the hurricanes in Louisiana.� When we returned from the track on Thursday everyone was gone.� They must have been cleared to return home.�
