The question is, can I push these one more track day at NYST. While one tire is not great, I can put it on the driver side which does little at NYST. The other does not show the same issues but is used the same.

The more I think about it, I realized these served their purpose. Even if I survive the day, I am not sure if they are going to be any fast, defeating the need to be on R7.

It is my policy to drive tires to the cords, but there is alway room for exceptions.

The slit is on the outside
the "lakes" are on the inside.

The dimples are still there
Based on what you've posted with respect to abrasive nature of NYST, I wouldn't use them there. Save your good tires for LRP.
