Racers. Do you worry about oiling issues, or do you just drive?

I'm in two minds about how to approach this.

From time to time I get sucked in by the black hole on the Internet that goes on about oiling issues and imminent engine implosion. And despite my efforts to improve the oil supply I feel I own a ticking time bomb and want to get rid of it.

Often times, however, I figure I should just stop worrying, do the regular service, drive as hard as I can on track and trust that things will most likely hold up for a long time as long as I take care of them.

PS: UPDATED QUESTIONS DUE TO THE FIRST ONES BEING UNCLEAR! (See post #5)
1 Do you active racers often experience engine failueres?
2. Do you active racers often see other racers who have engine failueres?
3. Do you active racers constantly fear engine failueres, and does it influence the way you enjoy the car?
