How much street driving? Someone with your experience knows there's going to be a trade off with one set of pads on a dual purpose car.. better track performance and faster wear, or better wear and something like your current result on track. I wouldn't expect any 'high performance street' pad to perform to my liking on a track.
..or lots of pad switching and cleaning of rotors between events..

But, as others have suggested, duct cooling could be the solution for you and allow for a more street-able pad to survive the track.. but i don't have experience with ducts.
