A rule of thumb we use is for auto-x, DE and other stadium events we would take caster out as the car turns quicker, sort of like toe out. On road racing course such as the CA Speedway, we put in as much caster as possible since we want the car to be stable on the high speed banking portion of the race track and the turns are not nearly as tight as an auto-x course. When I was racing bicycles, my road racing bike had more caster or rake in the front forks which made it easy to ride in long road races but the criterium and track bikes had very little rake or caster since they needed to turn very quickly in short races.
