Hi Kevin,
From previous experience, the 305.2 curve is usually smoked out when viewed from high on the hill, but at a moderate hillside location it often lifts enough to provide a shot. You are correct that the chasers were very intrusive at the 305.2 curve, including people brazenly walking into the sight lines of people on the charter, not to mention a half dozen vehicles parked close to the tracks at the apex of the curve. Heavy cropping was required. The guy in the trees will need to be erased when I get the chance. I was hoping the smoke would do the job for me!
