Dude, the flat part of the track is about the same size as Hialeah's oval, but where you would hit the wall at Hialeah, it turns to banking here. The banking stops your car VERY quickly. Even if you're on the banking, when you lose inertia your car would rather slide DOWN the banking than go up it. The effect makes it pretty difficult to hit the wall hard enough to cause big damage. Just don't freak out and do a 4 wheel lock understeer slide into the wall, or simply stay off the banking.
Another thing, racing, gymnastics, diving.. they all teach you to LOOK where you want to go. When I do ride-a-longs I notice a lof of people focusing on where they ARE, rather than where they WANT TO GO. People who focus on the wall, hit the wall. Stay off the banking if you're afraid of the walls and you'll be fine. For those who are going on the banking: If a spin is imminent, just get your inertia headed down the banking as you spin. Even in a spin the steering wheel is still in YOUR hands, you still have a good deal of control.
