Sounds more like your tires are over-heated, and relatively little pressure from the pad was causing the tires to break traction.
I think your right about the pads but I don't think the tires were overheated as it was doing it on a cold day on the 2nd run. It was worse on a hot day with the sticky pads but it I don't think it's the tires as there was plenty of lateral grip and it never felt like the tires were breaking traction when braking (no chatter, skip or chirp).
