Look, I don’t know what the fuck your deal is with me and sports threads, but you can shove your rolleyes up your ass.

Just look at the goddamn course, dude, pre-modification. There are a series of unpadded, square concrete support posts immediately after a sharp turn, and PRECISELY where anyone with a brain in their head would say, “Hmmmm…maybe there’s a chance somebody could jump this low wall at 90 mph and crack their fucking skull open.”

It was utterly predictable.
