For a frame of reference, I had the same experience once (0 brake pressure/pedal went to the floor), last lap of last session of the day. I had stock brakes with Motul RBF600 fluid. Since then I had the Quantum brake ducts installed and haven't had the issue. On the main straight at Summit Point, I'd be braking from about 125 mph to around 45 mph for turn 1.
If it's only taking 3-4 laps to boil the fluid, something doesn't seem right. This is the first I've heard of anyone boiling fluid that quickly and there are some fast drivers here without cooling ducts.
If it were me, I'd have a mechanic check the brakes to make sure everything is ok. Maybe the pads are making contact with the rotors all the time causing excess heat.
Do you have any video of your track day?
