Thanks guys. New rotors on the way.
With all the time and money invested in going to the track, it's a small expense, and I'm obviously gonna need 'em sometime this year anyway.
In retrospect, a pretty dumb question on my part!
I have to constantly be reminded that it is better to BE PREPARED than to be scrambling for parts while at the track!

(I should admit, I don't do this when I go to Pacific Raceways. But I live about five miles from the track.)
Cracked a rotor today. Had to drive home with a cracked rotor and RA1s with no tread in a light rain. Living close to the track is really handy!

BTW, I really like the stock rotors reliability and feel. Stick with them IMO!

'nother possibly dumb question:
With only one hairline crack, ~20mm long, evident (as opposed to being riddled with them like the rotor pictured above), would you replace rotors before tracking, or wait for more cracks? (rotors at 23.3/23.5mm btw)
FWIW, I'm used to the solid rotors on my 240Z, which I've never cracked and always just replaced when they were at or below min thickness.
TIA...

You really do not need that many tools to swap the rotors, why not just through them in the back and be done with it? Laziness is an acceptable answer

With OEMs, no need to start thinking about replacement till your rotors look like this:
