I agree with (most of) that Ron, my point is that there's a freaking wall right there if you do screw up, not to mention the fence above it. All the riders in the field go out there and race on this track, the point is that the combination of speed and the proximity to a *very* hard (not even air fenced) wall is what's extra dangerous about it. Everyone complained about Watkins Glen because of close walls, it's the same point. It's not about skill, it's about safety, the two are not mutually exclusive.
