Default my race weekend

I was at the track/airstrip this weekend. I was running on slicks did about 4 burnouts showing off for the cameras
when I got to the start line my clutch was gone, I launched at 7000rpm killed my oponent on the launch, but when I shift to 2nd I redlined, 3rd same 4th same,5th same, I never experienced clutch slippage so I went 2 more times. 3rd try the car would not drive, and engine redlining. turned the clutch is fried since the track go up a slight hill I got pushed the rest of the way
I was using exedy stage 2 3 puck clutch. obx lsd, road racing slicks, all that left of the clutch is the center hub, almost brand new clutch. I killed it at 20psi on a ls/vtec sc61 turbo.
I replaced the clutch with a stock one to get me home, but I cant accelerate too fast the stock one slips at only 10 psi.
so now I am trying to fingd the best clutch I can use under $500

here you go
*first launch slipping all the ways down the track in all gears. 16.10
*second launch slipping all the way down the track in all gears. 17.50
*third launch shift second slipped, shift to third no power to the wheels, people got on the track push me to the end, 26.50 seconds
the fucked up thing is that I cant afford a clutch to redeam myself next weekend.

I think its because I burnt it up at the track doing too many burnouts

but now the stock one is slipping like hell, I cant accelerate fast, I have to press on it lightly to not slip.
