Default HELP - Burning Smell

Ok so was getting ready to install my exhaust and was in the process of driving up on the ramps at my dads house when i revved on the engine alittle as i was trying to take it slow up the ramps. All of a sudden at the peak of the current revv (may have been a pop sound) smoke starts to come from the engine. I went back down the ramps and poped the hood. By the time my dad got the hood opened the smoke had cleared from the engine bay. We looked but couldnt find anything to be wrong. So, on my way home i could still smeal the "electrical" smell. My dad said it smelt like "hot water" from the radiator. I donno, so i pulled into the gas station and popped the hood. I didnt notice anything out of the ordinary. The car isnt over heating and im not getting any lights. Car runs and drives fine.
Any suggestions?

Burn the clutch? Did you have the parking brake on?
