I'm not gonna lie, they are there. We take every effort in course design to minimize the walls. But if you do something very wrong in the car, that unfortunately is a possibility.
This is one of the reasons I have been performing the Novice Coordinator position. By doing this, we can break bad habits before they start. I can help show you the safe way around the track, and then work on picking up speed throughout your runs.

To the OP: Does NASA allow tinted visors on helmets? I was denied use one time at a SCCA (IIRC) event.
And LOL at Floda's 240.

Just to confirm passengers are allowed. Just have her sign the waiver at the gate, and wear a helmet as stated. With the GF on a road course, start her with touring laps at VIR - work the speed up from there
About tinted helmet visors, I have never heard of that being a concern. Doesn't mean some clubs might not have such a rule, but I have never heard of it. Worst case, you'd simply run visor-up.
About the 240SX - that car was previously owned by a NASA Mid-Atlantic official, that picture was taken before Kevin owned the car
