Use conventional oil for at least the first 10,000 miles.
Is this a rebuilt engine? If so, then yes change your oil right before the track. If this is the original engine for your car and it only has 13xx miles then no keep the break-in oil in there.

I dont think you need to wait 10,000 miles until synthetic though.

You can go to synthetic earlier, it just may delay the break-in process. I went to synthetic at 3,500 miles. Car is fine, never burned any measureable amount of oil.
As for the thread starter, just check your oil level often during the first 5,000 miles. Many S2000 do have an oil consumption problem. But, definitely don't change it yet.
