Pink or Mag runs great for about 3m in mod, then it either pushes or get's loose depending on your setup, even in stock they won't go 8m without loosing grip, & gumming up

We run JTG & SXT

WGT works fine on Spec Lilacs

The part of the tire we don't sauce will pickup about 1/4mm of gum after 8m
Both Jack and SXT have components that have very low volatility, and depending on how much you run on the tires/track and the stickyness of natural rubber, it can get to where you're describing. What you need to do is get rid of some of the sauce in the track without losing the rubber, maybe letting the building heat up on a hot dry day and letting it air out.

Also, just because of its chemistry, a swap to Zip Grip Free may help clean out the track.
