William H. Davis Jr. General Thanks, I barely beat 339 here, I heard them call the McCalla signal when I was a mile away from the overpass, I had to run around some slow pokes & right as I parked on the bridge I had just enough time to roll my window down & grab my camera for the shot, luckily my camera was sitting right beside me, had it been in my camera bag I'd missed it here 8/7/2013 6:51:04 AM
Fred Stuckmann General Gotta be ready all the time, glad you got it. Very nice. 8/7/2013 6:59:14 AM
William H. Davis Jr. General Very true, I had everything ready being I had just gotten back from chasing UP 1995 leading 225, I got back home for a shower & changed clothes & Jeffery Gordon alerted me that 339 was by Woodlawn so I decided to check the signal at McCalla in case 339 was lined up, I wasn't sure if it was already by me or not, I heard them call the signal at McCalla & had to gun it around some slow pokes & made it on the overpass just in time for the shot, timing can be unbelievable sometimes, I snapped the shot & went to eat at Zaxby's & got a call to work right after I finished eating, perfect timing 8/7/2013 7:08:54 AM
