Default Burned clutch

I have a my04 s2k and i was at a stop sign with my friend late at night and we were both just revving for fun right next to each other. i had to go straight and he had to turn right. so as we began to depart i dropped clutch and spun through 1st really fast and when i shifted into 2nd the tires stopped spinning and my clutch started burning!!! how bad is this?
my 240sx had no problem with spinning through 1st and 2nd, but the s2k just didnt break loose when i shifted. Is it because the my04 s2k has that clutch engagement delay thing when u drop the clutch really hard?
im so dumb, btw this was at night with no one around, so i wasnt being too wreckless.

It probably smelt for awhile huh? Just take it easy for the next week or two, all you probably did is glaze over the surface of the clutch. You have to drop the clutch really fast or it will slip before it catches. And yes, you should treat your car better.
