I have taken my stock viggen to the track a few times with not brake problems. The pads I use are hawk 's track pad & I have had great luck so far. The biggest problem is I keep blowing the center caps off the viggen wheels due to the heat the brakes put out, but no warped rotors.
The biggest problem with warping rotors isn't the heat they build up during the track session it the lack of cool down time afterwards. On the last lap after the checkered flag I try to not use my brakes at all which gives them ample time to cool down.
If you have never done a school before I doubt you would have any problems unless your rotors are at their min thickness. Be sure you have a LOT of thickness on your pads & also bring a extra set along.
