No, you should be worry free. Mine were totally fine. This is assuming you have new or somewhat new OEM tires.
Most likely beginners do 2 out of 4 sessions as a learning experience, so you're not pushing your car farther then daily driving. So you will only have a half day of real tracking, even then the point is to learn how to be safe and fun, going fast isn't the priority.
The two things you should do it change your brake fluid and possibly pads. I did my first event at SOW with stock pads and they were totally fine. I might sign up as a beginner just to relearn everything.
