Default Please help diagnose

I have a textralia (0Z700) clutch and has been working flawlessly for the last 8 months. I’ve been going to the track every weekend for the last month and at first the car would shift/hold perfect the entire ¼ launching at 6000 pulling low 1.5 60’s. But as of late It seems like every time I shift into 3rd gear the car falls on its face as if the clutch is not fully engaging. I don’t suspect it slipping because it doesn’t shoot up in rpm, before It would go into 3rd but at the top of 3rd it would shutter/not fully engage and the car just shutters as soon as I get into 3rd, and now its got to the point where it does it as soon as I shift into it. Weird thing is that when I get on the street the car/clutch shifts perfect no matter how high rpm I shift at in any gear. Seems to me that when the hooks at the track their is a greater load on the clutch compared to when its on the street as spinning the tires. My car is a tank, it weighs in at around 3700lbs in drag form.
