01 S, Manual 6 - Randomly will not start

I have lately been experiencing a condition where when I turn the key to start the car nothing happens.

There are no warnings or any other apparent signs of trouble, the starter simply makes no motion.

After a few attempts though the car does start as normal.

This morning it happened again and since my leg muscles were sore from playing Baseball the evening before, I made a focused effort to make sure I was depressing the clutch all the way in, and it fired right up.

Is it possible that I have an intermittent or failing clutch switch?

Where might it be located?

Do they generally fail or just get loose and need to be adjusted and re secured?

What else could it be if not that?

Coincidentally it first started after my Autocross racing last weekend.
