Default vette one tire fire?? wtf?

was at the track last night on BFG DR's, started to do a 2nd gear burnout. Started off both tires, then after a few seconds, the right tire stopped but the left kept spinning. It only spun for a second but I was freaked out alittle bit. it ran down the track fine and drove home fine. Think this is something I should be worried about??

I would contact (DTE) dynotech engineering here on the forum. They carry new clutch packs for rears and offer some greats products from what I have and researched. I am about to order there strut brace.

traction control was turned off. I was told by come older vette guys that vettes cant handle burning out in 2rd. Since it was the first time and only time its done that, i should be ok. At worst, I burn a little rear clutch but drove it all day today, launched a few times and it seamed fine.
