Clutch Question

So I decided to take a friend out and launch my car and an odd thing happened. I pressed the clutch in for 2nd and after releasing the clutch pedal the car held in the clutch pedal about 50% of the way in. I kept the power on to see if it would do it in third; clutched in for 3rd and the same thing happened.

After the second time I released the throttle and noticed the clutch release slowly and consistently.

Dropped off the passenger and we both noticed the clutch burn smell, car drop normally after that. This has happened one time before during high clutch load, but oddly enough I floor through corners with no issues. Seems to happen only on launching clutch load times.

Thank you for any help you guys and girls can give me.
