How often do you beat on your Evo?

I'm curious how often everyone drives their car hard... by hard, I mean:

* Any type of racing or dyno
* Redlining / Datalogging

I pretty much try to redline it every trip I take; just have to make sure it's fully warmed up. My motto is, "redline once a day keeps the oil sludge away"

If you want proof, here's a link to the pic of the head on my Nissan after 160k miles, 80k of which were boosted, mobil 1 every 3k miles:

I think the Evo can be driven pretty fast, without actually abusing it.

The most common sort of abuse probably comes from launching and poor driving.
