Default Yellow smoke and burnt clutch smell after a trip to the strip...help

Alright well i went for the second time to the strip in my 2000 trans am ws6 (norwalk raceway) and when going to do my burnout i popped the clutch at about 2 grand and when the car started to grip i slammed the brake and being the idiot i am with work boots on i hit the clutch too...the wheels stopped spinning but i thought i was still doing a burnout until i watched yellow smoke pour and pour and pour out of the engine bay and it reeked of clutch. My pedal went to the floor and didnt come up for about 10 seconds. The light turned green and i waited til the clutch came back then jammed it into 1st and took it easy. Still ran a 13.6 and the car made it home fine. But it still smells like burnt clutch. Is there anything i should do to prevent more wear n tear? is it time for a new clutch?
