I do rotate my tires on my daily driver mazda3 but just wondering what people do for their track tires. Which way do you rotate them? Front to back, inside out?

Outside wear is a sign that you don't have enough camber in your suspension setup. Rotating the tires is unlikely to improve that specific wear problem.
- One way you can get more life from edge wear is to unmount and flip the whole tire on the wheel, however that's not a tire rotation.
In any case, as far as traditional rotation, I rotate my tires after every event. I dont pay too much attention to whether the course is run CW or CCW. I figure it evens out over time anyway. Again, this is mostly to even-out lifetime wear rather than necessarily getting additional life out of a tire. Naturally if you kept the same tires in the front the whole time, the fronts will wear out faster than the rears
If the tires are inside-outside, I just do a rear cross rotation. If the tires are directional, I just do a front to rear.
