Probably a good thing if the car hasn't been driven much. If you feel up to it after your brake fluid change, you should go out somewhere safe and do multiple consecutive hard brake checks from 60-70mph down to 5mph engaging the abs hard. Do this 4-5 times in a row until you feel the brake pedal start to get soft. This will burnish in your pads to the rotors before track day. Just make sure you get plenty of drive time before you park the car after this, letting the rotors cool off, or they can warp. Do not use the E-brake either, just put the car in gear. Using the E-brake will clamp the rear pads and cause that area to cool off slower, also resulting in warped rotors- Especially important at the track.

I did already order some Ate Type 200 DOT4 fluid and planning to flush the brakes/clutch soon. After thinking about it more based on your response, I will most likely order a set of new pads (was considering the PMU HC 800's) and hoping to be ok using them on stock rotors. I may also replace the brake lines soon too, just because of the age and to be on the safe side. Again, at least for now, not planning to track every month, just 2-4 times a year, and for now just planning to get some practice driving within the limits of the equipment I have.. assuming it can survive reasonably well. I am using Bridgestone Re-71r summer tires on stock rims (was actually fine staying on the smaller stock wheels/tire sizes for now as bigger wheels/tires increases the wear and demand on the brakes/suspension/drivetrain and whole system.. but I'm sure I will eventually want to upgrade to larger wheels/tires ).
