Do these pads/rotors look okay after a track day?

Recently did a track day with track pads and have since switched back to street pads (about a week ago). Unfortunately, my street pads have even started squeaking a little bit so I'm wondering if my rotors are a little funky? I've attached some pictures of the front and rear rotors from when I was changing the pads back to street as well as pictures of the track pads and what my current street pads look like.

The rear rotors are the ones with the clearer/thicker white lines and without the brake dust (?) filling the rotor holes. The track pads are the cracked ones.

Thanks for any help!

replace rotors if:
rotors are below min thickness
OR
rotors are warped

If you're getting squeaking do a mini "bed in procedure" to re-mate the rotors and pads.

Thanks. Do you have a recommended mini bed in procedure for regular street pads?

In a safe area, make few stops from like 60 to 10 mph with moderate pressure to warm up the brakes. Then make additional several hard stops (60-10 mph) until you start to feel the brake fade . Then drive around for 5-10 mins on a highway to cool off.
