is my clutch ok?

So on my third pass on the dragstrip, as i was attemping to do a small burnout to heat the tires up, i gas it some gas and let off the clutch and the wheels did not spin but the RPM shot up, then i put it in neutral and the clutch stuck to the floor for a moment then came back up. After that the cab reeked of that burnt clutch smell.
i made that last pass and everything seemed fine it just reeked of that smell for a while i stopped and took off lightly a few times even, but seems normal

does everything sounds fine?

No, nothing sounds fine here, sound like you smoked your clutch. It might not be totally gone, but you may have glazed it over a good bit. The transmission would need to get pulled out and a good inspection of the disc, pressure plate and flywheel would need to be performed.

If it still drives OK, no big deal, keep driving it but by the description above it seems like you smoked it my friend.

the clutch sticking to the floor is a common problem, mine has done it twice and the dealer claims it is my fault but it isn't if you read some of the other blogs on here it happens to alot of people. Some say it's because the clutch and brake master cylinder are one in the same and it's not a very good combo apparently. I can't believe it happens so ofter to so many but gm and the dealer claim it's the drivers style not the cars fault. B.S
