Track torque for wheel lug bolt? Thread lock or no?

Hey guys, I started tracking my car, I tighten my wheels to 90 ft/lb before and after 30 min session, after the car wheels cool down. Last 30 min session i forgot to retighten the bolts and drove home and my wheels became loose. Luckily i tightened them back in time.

Anyway what torque do you use to tighten your wheels for track use? I run on 19in wheels vmr v701 19".

BMW Manual says 87 +/- 7 ft/lb

I'm afraid that after 25 min my wheels are being unscrewed in rear. Do any of you use thread lock (blue) on wheel lugs? Is it even recommended?

Help!!! Got another track day coming up in 2 days for 2 days

Whats your thought on this?
