Default ls6 clutch question

ok so i learned how to drive stick on my z28 about a year ago - never burned the clutch - not even once when learning on it. a couple months ago i went to the track and on my first run i got nervous and burnt the **** out of my clutch - it smelled for an hour. the strength of the clutch is still fine though- it is NOT slipping and is still very strong. randomly when i drive the clutch will burn slightly - and i wont even be doing anything stupid on it - could there be some contaminate on the clutch thats making it burn so easily?

.

When up burn up a clutch it like over heating the brakes.
clutch material is a lot like brake pad material.
so you could have put in hot stops or glazed up the flywheel or
pressure plate.
so it can act up now for reasons like weather, temp, moisture, a little power on it or slipping it a little.

if it holds then deal with it until it blows out(WHICH IT WILL,OHHHHH IT WILL)
And then cut the flywheel replace the clutch. done done.
