Default clutch issues, sparks from bellhousing, vid inside

ok, heres the problem now, i made 10 passes the other night at the track, clutch was good all night, and after the 10th pass, when im driving back around in 4th, give it gas and the clutch starts slipping. the clutch doesnt grab untill the very very top, and i can tell its barely engaging at all.

i was watching the vids and i notice in my burnout when i pop the clutch sparks shoot out from under the car. i have had a few people told me they seen it before when i did burnouts on the street, i wonder if this is why my trans seems real notchy and hard to get into gear.

clutch never slipped before and always grabbed really nice, untill it instantly was fucked up, clutch fluid looks good and fluid isnt low or anything. any ideas or anybody else have a problem like this before?

thank god its end of season and i plan on taking the trans out to change the clutch for next year, just wonering what would cause this problem or what mistake i made so i dont do it again.

Broken clutch spring(s)?

You won't know until you take it apart.

Clutch is probably welded to the pressure plate.
