I found that clunking racing pads are usually related to the more agressive pads that designed to be smaller in size, to compensate for heat expansion. What happens then is that they move around in the caliper when cold, over bumps, or when driving forward or in reverse for the first time.

My solution was to use BMW brake pad backing plates from an old worn out set, and fit them over the more agressive pads. This works for street and the track. Problem solved!
