There IS a lot of blame to go around here, but little should fall on your shoulders.
However, you are certainly right that if you're going to play in this manner on the track, a write off is something you need to be able to accept. If the car represents a kids college education, then certainly the track isn't the place for it to "appreciate".
And sure, a "money shift" is always a possibility..,,but this was a simple engine failure. They happen, but when the proper steps and precautions are taken, they are rare. Ferrari is allowed a failure...they are dancing at the edge of known performance, pushing envelopes. Your engine and build is great, but it's not in the same genre as the Ferrari.

I agree with you on all counts.
My Ferrari example was to say that stuff happens even when you think you have done everything right.
We now know that a lot of things were not done right in my case....
