Default Clutch Problems at dragstrip

I was at the dragstrip fri and sat nite. Now under normal driven condtions i never have problems with it. But these last two nites at the end of the run, after i pass the trap i take it out of gear and push on the brake slowly and right when im about to put it back in gear(2nd) its either halfway up or all the way down. Ive got to pull it up manually or push on it a couple times. I always bleed and prime the clutch before i go to the track. The car has 740rwhp,700ft.lbs.trq..ive had the car for about 2yrs and these mods for bout a year and it just now starting doin this. New clutch or am i doin sumtn wrong? Enlighting me my wise ones

Take the pedal spring out. Free to do and worked for me and many others.
