I've been to the point where a medium front compound is too much steering and a bit firmer is useless so I've had good luck with the CA glue.
As said above, the higher front ride height (motorboat), light shock oil and super free rear articulation, short top deck and FRP chassis for excessive flex etc. all help on the crappy surfaces.
I've used the super glue trick before and it does work to get you through a crappy race night but it is just a band aid. There is a permanent fix to the handling problems. Keep searching for it and it will eventually show itself. I had a bad traction roll problem. Turned out to be too low of a front roll center not enough camber too stiff of a rear end and too much traction compound up front. Keep looking. There is an answer
