I wouldn't think so. My guess is you got the clutch hot on the burnout and that's causing your slippage problem.

Yes, Id say your clutch is going bad. what kind of clutch do you have and how many miles are on it? All the stress your giving it will make it wear. Once that starts to happen its only a matter of a few months before it will be slipping everywhere...

it is a stage 3 from spec i loved the cluth its probly going on a year old but has never seen street tires only et drags and the new radials hopen to get some relocation brackets in a couple of weeks so it will maybee get rid of the horible wheel hop i think the new drag lucnh springs and all are cousing the wheeel hop becouse it just started after i put those on but then i will go to the track and try the clutch out again and if it slips again i gues i will call spec and upgarde
