You guys that go road racing and autocrossing, do you keep your tire pressure at what the recommended pressure says on the tire or do you change it (raise or lower) for your race?

I'm constantly adjusting pressures at the track. Heat increases the pressure. Make a lot of right turns, and you left tires will get hotter, increasing the pressure on that side.
