I have been debating whether it would, and if not whether I should bring an extra set or just go ahead and change them out b4 I go..
and then there's always the question of what pad to use when I'm still new but plan on doing at least 6-8 more events this year. Should I get something like the StopTech SPs or go for a full on race pad?

I subscribe to the philosophy that when you start debating brake maintenance...stop yourself and just err to the conservative side.
I also like the theory of building a stock of "useable" spares vs. "worn out" spares. In your case, just get some track pads and put them on now and roll back to your oem after you don't have a track event on your schedule.
