Not sure about how many heat cycles they have on them if they have any stick, but tread life you are fine I would think. Have to think in the classes we had to run DOT tires in, they were shaved to 2/32" tread to START with, which was barely a ghost pattern on the tire.

I would flip them. You will also be using the tires correctly (outside facing outside). After flipping I think you will be fine for one last day.
Also, that wear looks like toe in. Have you had the alignment checked lately?
In the first pic, is that a hole, that may have been internally patched (fixed)? If so I wouldn't recommend using tires that have been repaired on track.

They look fine to me. At WSIR if you are running hard, say 1:30 lap times, after the first three sessions I would switch the left side wheels to the right side. That track is so abrasive and so hard on left side tires it is easy to wear down your left side tires while the right side stays largely intact.
