This answers the question I asked in the other thread about using endurance type pads on our heavy cars. I went through this process on my last car until I found the right pad. A costly exercise but it really made me understand the importance of using the right pad for the application. As soon as you move out of the heat range of a pad, it will either fade, wear rapidly, or even crumble like you described. I'm sure any top tier race pad will fare better. And ducting will certainly help
Did your rotors get any surface cracking? If not, you've probably got a lot more thermal capacity left to take advantage of a hotter pad
