Default Travel!

No, I'm not talking about vacation! I'm talking about front suspension. I have some things rolling around in my noggin, but I want to get some thoughts. How much wheel travel are you all designing for in compression and rebound? In circle track racing we always went for 3 up / 3 down. However, when we measured the travel we never used that much. Well, except for some air travel but thats a bad memory! When you calculate roll angle, it's not even close. Then when you add travel for things like bumps, off camber approaches etc. you need more. So that's my question what do you design for and does anyone know from autocrossing, street and track what you are actually seeing? Let me hear it! Thanks!
