Default track tonight, clutch slipping? HELP PLEASE!

went to the track tonight, full story/videos will be posted in s/s. on my first run, i had a disaster, and like i think i spun a ton, but on the video you can't see my tires spinning. the rpm's were staying way the hell up and i wasn't going anywhere, it seems like i was spinning.

im worried that it might have been my clutch slipping, but i haven't had any other problems with it, and it feels completely normal, i put it in 5th at 50 mph and floor it, no slippage, no slippage dumping it from 5 grand to burnout.

whats the deal?

you can see the back tires, not perfectly zoomed in, but you can see them clearly. maybe the FPS doesnt capture the spinnage. i dont' know

Then no clutch slipping.

I can't really help you, but I was just congratulating you on your times, they're not bad considering how HOT it's been here in Florida lately...

Get those videos up!
