If you’re planning to spend three days in the Infield at Talladega for a race, your list of required items appears to be about the same if you were running from a Hurricane. Okay, so maybe the fact that a three day supply of beer is required might not be the same, or would it? I’ve found as I’ve gotten ready for the race, just two weeks away, is similiar to the Emergency Packs recommended by the Red Cross. As I gather supplies the next few days, I’ll take a closer look at what I’m taking about, and what I may need as Hurricane Season approaches again. I plan to offer up a checklist to cover both, with many items the same.
