I’m running a post season meet for the first time this November (Footlocker NE) and my teammate said the course is on concrete most of the time and he doesn’t recommend me use spikes.
Should I budge out the $ for road racing shoes or can I just use my normal 3/8 spikes
You could just take the spikes out so it's basically a flat
Look up Nike streak LT, you can find them on sale for next to nothing.

Good idea. Have you run the course before? If so, would you say spikes are fine
There’s maybe 20m of concrete over a bridge, the rest is dirt
I think that you can get rubber blanks to fit in the spike socket, to prevent them getting damaged if, say, a pebble were to get stuck in them.
Spikes would suck on concrete. If you leave the holes empty you can really screw up the threads. They sell metal blanks too that screw in where the spikes would go. I’ve used those on packed dirt/concrete courses before and they work fine.
