Default Competition clutch problem

Ok so I just got back from the track and the very first run I broke the clutch right after the launch. Anyone else having this same issue with the competition stage 4? I would really like to talk to someone at competition about maybe getting some help on a new clutch because frankly I'm pretty unhappy with this one, the car is only on 12psi and I didn't even make it 30ft before it let go

I havent pulled the trans yet, The trans still goes into gear but I have to start the car in first because the clutch is not functioning at all. It was a real bitch to get in on the trailer using the starter to creap it on. It will be going into the shop this week to have the trans and clutch pulled. The trans still shifts and drives but with no clutch I have wait for the speeds of the motor and trans to match up to shift it and rev match it to down shift it.

I'm not exactly sure what broke on it, I'm guessing a spring came out of the disc but I have no Idea. I know that the slave is still working just fine, that was the first thing I checked in the pits

If I were you, I'd be looking at clutch master/slave cylinder...

Any unusual noises that would indicate one (or more) of the disc springs are bouncing around in the bell housing?
