Default brand new clutch was slpping after a few runs???

the other night i was running my car at the races and it was running real good until the 4th or 5th run.i notices my clutch was slipping real bad. i returned to the pits let the car cool off and decided to geo home on the way home the car was running fine, no slipping or anything. its a centerforce dual friction clutch if that helps

it mostly depends on how much power you are making though. My friend with his 10 sec hatch was used a brand new clutchmasters stage 5 and he started slipping after the 4th run on the same night that he threw it in, so he had to shell out the big bucks for a twin disk and it holds like you wouldn't believe, according to him. I don't really know much about those type of clutches but I haven't heard anything bad about them either. How much power are you making and is that within the limits of the clutch that you have?
