Default Clutch feels like it’s always Disengaged

I was at the track racing quarter mile took off went through first gear push the clutch and shifted to second let the clutch out and there was nothing there when Car is off I can shift through the gears without stepping on the clutch when car is running I put it in first gear let out the clutch car doesn’t move no leaks anywhere I bled my slave cylinder still nothing One up on a lift I put it in gear and the back tires lock so the transmission and rear end are working is it a faulty slave cylinder?

If I put it in first gear go around to the back of the car and go to spin the passenger tire it’s in gear so the transmission is engaging but the clutch is not
