Oil baffle

At what point does a person need an oil baffle? I see people installing them for "cheap insurance" around the forums, but at what point does it become advisable?

Constant high g turns at the track which would move oil to one side of the oil pan. If you don't track, you don't need it.

But do you need it if you track on stock tires? Extreme performance? Slicks? When does it become necessary?
