If your going to be using real track only pads that will be rock hard when cold then use them with repeated stops at slow speed to scrape the transfer layer off from your street pads. Follow that by bedding your track pads.

Once done at the track do the same thing to scrap the transfer layer off again with cold racing pads then put your street pads back in and bed them.

Running real track only pads while cold is pretty much the same as using a lathe on your rotors, one of the many reasons you should not daily drive with real track pads.
