Will one track day completely shred my tires? (I know this is a "variable" question, so of course I mean on average do you go through an entire set of tires on one track day)

My first trackday here, the first session was just driving Round the track. My second session I actually faded my brakes a bit... But that's because I wasn't on them hard enough.. Instead I was braking softly and on them a lot longer.. I ran 1:45's in my second session.. Rode with CSG mike or Dave..I'm horrible with names.. Anyways after I found out what to do I was much better. 1:36 ... I was harder on the brakes but used them way way less.. It was more like a quick jab then the way I was doing it.. I didn't have problems with my brakes the rest of the day... I know if I started going faster I'd need pads, but at my pace the stock set up was fine
My tires looked like I used them, but were no where closed to worn out.. I could just tell they went trough something other then street driving, but I don't notice any extra wear.. I know they lost some tread, and if I gauged them before and after I'm sure there would be a difference, but not to the naked eye can I tell any difference
