Default ruined new clutch?

I've got about 300 miles on my new king cobra clutch. So i'm at my gf house and her brother has a 92 gt and thinks it's god. So i coudn't take it anymore, i sat in front of the house and did a brake stand burnout. Plenty of smoke but it wasn't tire smoke. I felt like such an *** and i knew i should have let it break in but i felt the urge. It doesn't slip or anything and still pulls hard but i don't know if i seriously hurt something. So is my new clutch trashed or is it ok?

That thing took a beating, let me tell you what. Ever see that video of the F-Body doing the same thing? You shortened its life up some, that's for sure.
