"Go-to" rotors tend to be Centric on this forum, and I'm currently using a set of Centrics. They seem to run hotter then the OEM rotors. First time on track with the centrics coming in after a cool down lap it was still hot enough to smoke my PMU Hc800+. Whereas the OE rotors, after one cool down lap, even stoptech pads did not seem too bothered by the remaining heat trapped in the brakes. Too bad I did not measure the temps, but I'm almost 100% sure they run hotter. (at least with the way I drive my car)

These are not bad lookin |

Tcoat should have a good, reliable opinion on this
It doesn't take a lot to over work HC+800. On only my 3rd track day I had killed a set in less the 5k miles and 2 track days. Had 1-2mm of material left lol.
I dropped time my last even with Winmax W5 and did not have as bad smoking coming off track, though it was much cooler ambient temps last time. Running centric blanks for all HPDE.
I would venture that you just got faster and/or the pad couldn't handle it and lead to excessive smoking
