If overheating is a concern, run the heater. If it's not, run it as you would driving around the street.

I heard using your A/C can make driving smoother and I know this as a fact as it becomes very apparent in my dinosauric car when you run A/C, must smoother driving.

Cooling off the engine after a hard autocross run, and what heater setting he should have for best performance on the course. At least that's how I read it...

If you're a tru hardco auto-xer, run the heater full blast max heat during your auto-x run...during the summer! 
h:
Pressing the AC during your auto-x run reduces the power to your wheels, which for n00bs like meeh translates to focusing on turning versus gunning it on the straights = better times.

I turn my A/C on (which forces the compressor on) and full heat for about 5 minutes. I also spray the radiator and throttle body with water.
