I've driven on an oval exactly one time, when I was warming up tires at a
test and tune at a local speedway infield. I was in my neon and I was
_very_ aware of the extremely hard looking walls all around. I went no
faster than I was comfortable doing (3rd in the neon) and didn't think it
was all that bad, but when I pitted, everyone asked me if I broke
something as I was going so slowly... :-)
