To illustrate how you "might" want to change your stagger numbers when racing on a banked track, I give you this. The inside diameter of the track is 64 feet. Nothing special about that number that's just the way it worked out. The track is 20 foot wide. In the middle of the corner I drew a 40 inch line to represent the outside diameter, tire to tire. I just decided on 40 inches so don't get on me on that. I then rotated that line 6 times, 10° each time. I then marked each side of the track at 12 inches from the wall, or edge. 2 dots represent the outside tire's edge in the turn. I then drew arcs, intersecting 3 dots, one on each side and one at the end of the 40 inch line I drew previously. I did this 6 times. You can read the numbers, it shows you how long each arc is. The arcs represent the theoretical line the outside rear tire will follow. The numbers you see measuring the arcs are in inches, because my software will not represent the things in feet. The arcs only cover 4 10° increments, plus the bottom line. If I made any mistakes I'm sure you let me know. LOL
