My opinion is that no one is forcing you to go on track, if you can't afford to total your car, don't go on track. I would be pissed if my car got totaled, and I can't afford to lose it, so I don't go on track.
I raced in a 4 cylinder class at a dirt track. It cost me $500ish to build my car. I wouldn't have minded much if i got spun into the wall and ended up with a pile of metal.
Accidents happen in motorsports. Besides, what you think was a boneheaded move could have just been a complete accident, and how do you decide what was just something that happened, as opposed to something that the other driver could have controled. What if a car spins out and another car hits it? Who is the bonehead in that situation? Who should pay for damages incurred? Why should driver (A) who spun out by himself pay for driver (B)'s car? Why should driver (B) take responsibility when he just got caught in someone elses mistake?
