Default Minimum Tread Before Weekend?

Memorial Day weekend I have an HPDE & High Speed Autocross. I'm running Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's the rears have about 1/32" above the wear indicator. Do you guys think that's enough to survive the weekend? I'll replace them before if I have to but would be nice to run them down before buying a new pair.

1/32" above the wear indicator, so 3/32" left total? If so that should be fine.

That is PERFECT.

just above the wear bars is perfect for a track event.

Thanks guys. Just wanted to make sure I would have enough tread left for both days, because I know I won't be able to replace them on a Sunday or Memorial Day itself.
