Went to Drag Strip---->Clutch screwed...HELP?

My SR has roughly 300 ft-lbs of torque....I drive it all over the place with 34 psi in the rear tires....I launch it sometimes on back roads, routinely floor it, downshift under full load....NEVER any clutch issues.

SO I went to the drag strip today, let my air down to 25 psi in my rear tires....did a burnout...

Then, when I launched, it just spun first AND 2nd gear....but the CLUTCH was spinning, not the tires....I let it coast down the strip, and then put it back in second and floored it, and it grabbed and went fine.


So my question is....is it possible that driving on the street, with SOME wheelspin in 1st and 2nd, it is fine, but then the traction at the DRAG strip was so good that it finally caused the clutch to completely slip???

This is an ACT Street with Heavy Duty PP, I think rated at like 350 ft-lbs or so.


Also, after this happened, driving home it grabbed fine, even with launches and flooring it, but the engagement point now seems LOWER (pedal further down).....hmmm

Is the clutch fried?
Something wrong with the master/slave?

I hate my life
