New Pads on Old Rotors?
Is there something I would need to do to the rotors?
No.
No.
By "rings", I assume you're talking about concentric grooves in the surface. As long as these are moderate, they're no problem; the pads will quickly "bed in", wearing so that the surface of the pad conforms with those grooves.
If they're unusually severe - more like gouges - then the rotor may require resurfacing or replacement, as indicated above. But that's pretty rare on a street car.

Yes, they are the concentric rings I see when I stand next to the car while looking into the wheels. Can't tell if they are bad/deep or not but will try it later. Need to put on my Hawk pads, both front and rear. The front rotors are just 2 weeks old but the rear rotors are still the original rotors and the car has 13k miles now with 2 days track event. I toasted the front rotors (warped) after the 2nd day but I can't tell if the rear needs to be replaced too.

With the number of miles you've got, I doubt that the rears need replacing. Track use puts almost all the strain on the front brakes, not the rear.
