Oil filter change vs oil change

I change the filter on my bracket car with each oil change, 25 passes & sometimes up to 40 passes, but mine is a race only application. I also cut the filter open to check the debris status, this helps to know what is wearing & if it's wearing badly. Knock on wood, I never scattered an engine or cooked the rods in one, & I'd like to think that is because I keep an eye on what is going into the filter. Just my .02.
