Default Adding oil for auto-x?

I was told that I should fill my crankcase about 1/2 quart over full before an auto-x event (as extra insurance against a spun bearing). Anyone ever do this? Any thoughts/ recommendations?
Thanks,
Ed

I asked the same question last week in the autocross forum http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=850774 , got differing answers. Mine was regarding an L98 however.
