Default Time for new clutch?

got a 03 coupe 13k miles. I don't "race" the car, but once in a while, I get in it a bit. Anyway, a quick start off the line, then chirp 'em in 2nd then thats about it. I can do this once, then if I do it again, clutch wont grab, and stinks really bad.

HELP!!!!

Sounds like it is getting too hot... hard to tell whether it is actually worn out or not though. If it still grabs that good when cool I would imagine it is fine as far as wear but may not be strong enough for your driving style. What is done to the car and is it a stock clutch??
