My wife is riding her new CBR250R on the track for the first time this weekend. I know the stock tires are not the greatest, but she's not that fast....... What tire pressures are most people running on a track?

You wrote the main important thing, I think!
Not that fast, that may let others drive harder on the public roads with the IRC's.
In case, your wife is riding her bike with the recommened tire pressure all the time, leave it like that. Minimum in the beginning.
Don't change to many things in one time.
And keep in mind, the CBR250 is on pretty low recomened psi, already.
29/29psi (2.0 bar) single.
And 29/33psi (2.0/2.25 bar), with 2up
(Actually, in Thailand that are the numbers)

Out of my own experience, with only about 0.1 bar lower pressure on the IRC's, plus average normal (for me) driving, they got a bit slippery in quicker corners
