Consider doing the same thing in the future...and would like to learn as much as possible..
The "right" thing to do is have as much fuel in the tank as you'd typically have when starting a race which would be as much as possible to finish or get in to the pits at the planned point in the race. Given that I don't race my car competitively, I went with around 3/4ths of a tank as this is usually what I like to have in my car when I go out. Watkins Glen, where I usually find myself, is a long track and I prefer to stay as far away from fuel starvation issues by keeping over a half tank on tap.

So, the short answer is that I'd go with something around the 1/2 tank mark.
