It seems when I try to launch and dump the clutch at 6-7K, my tires wont spin. They should spin like before. What can be wrong?

so should I replace my clutch now or wait till it gets worse? Or can this be fixed w/o getting a new clutch? I hardly launch, so Im kinda surprised. Oh well, just to be safe, I wont launch anymore.

What exactly happens when you launch at 6k now? Does the engine bog and you go off the line? does your rpm's stay at 6k or go even higher but you don't move?
