Just as a reference of how hot these pads can get when working well, I have melted the plastic tabs on my rear wheel centre caps in the past on my track car, so I ensure that I remove any caps before track use, now.

Also, besides the initial bedding and loss of the pad deposits from it, pad glazing is also a problem that may not be solvable with a re-bed, although pad sanding before a re-bed may work.
