I'd personally run 4s on a 2200KV motor. 5s on it will be very fast, unless you gear really low. Assuming you can't change the motor to a lower KV version, 5s will probably be best for a compromise of racing and bashing. If you're strictly racing though and are only on that track, I'd go with the Zippy 4s 25C 5000mah pack. 5s will be way too powerful in my opinion.

Edit: Yes, you can double up on packs. Just make sure you use the right connector (series or parallel). To choose your gearing, use this calculator:

And gears are sold in the RC-Monster store. You should probably be able to get about 15 or 20 minutes out of the pack you mentioned. But it really all depends on how you drive.
