About 25-30mm for the road to have rear suspension operating in the correct range. Static sag includes you sitting on the bike vs the rear end off the ground with the rear suspension fully extended.
As for what would be a good setting for the drags I could only guess. Normally for a racetrack type setting you want the rear compression damping to be such that the rear end doesn't squat under acceleration as this causes the front to raise and consequently run wide. Maybe you want the rear to squat on a drag bike to provide drive, but I'm only guessing.
I would ask for advice from any drag officianados (not the ones who like to cross dress though).
