I'm curious how your clutch seemed to have failed if you've already had an opportunity to remove and inspect it, or at least, hear about what symptoms you noticed when it was not working as expected. E.g., Did it smell? Start slipping excessively? Chatter? Have engagement point on the pedal move? Thanks.

It could very well be my flywheel is glazed as well. I replaced the clutch a year ago but didn't replace the flywheel. I've never had a clutch go so fast (I've never actually gone through a clutch). The clutch is currently slipping in third gear at full throttle, the engagement point starts low but continues through the entire stroke. It started slipping at VIR in August, it was about 110 degrees outside and the track requires a lot of shifting. The clutch did have one major burn when I let a friend drive the car at an autocross
