This. I was quite skeptical myself but needed no more convincing after Accelerate posted a pokey raw time facing West Coast in the Awesome Again.
It's not like it hasn't rained in Santa Ana before so perhaps the alterations made safety worse. Kind of like how NASCAR put restrictor plates in for Daytona and Talladega resulting in slower speeds but more wrecked cars.
