I was passing another car on the street to get the lane I needed. The other driver sped up so I nailed the throttle and the engine over came the clutch... the engine went straight to the rev limiter. 
The clutch kit is a Fadanza FW, stock Supra clutch disc and Action 2800 PP. The OAT was 98 degrees, traveling about 30 MPH in second gear on level ground, and rubber is BFGs 255x17. I had been driving for 30 minutes, plenty of time to heat up the rubber, before I nailed the throttle. I got under the car to look for oil seeping out from somewhere; bone dry!
On another day that was ten degrees cooler, I tried the same process, but this time no clutch slip.
What was causing this, I don't know... :dunno: I suspect it is heat related, as this is a one year old clutch and throughout the track day in June, the only problem was cooling, not drive train related. During that day the OAT was in the 70s.
