Default Clutch toast at Road Atl Track Night

So four laps in at Road Atlanta and the RPMs are going up and I'm even on the gas, eventually won't grab or hold a gear. I coasted off track and later could not get the car to move, would start, go in gear but when I relapsed the clutch the engine stayed at idle. I'm guessing I burnt the clutch up at the track. Not my first track day, but I'm expert so I could have f'd it up. Car towed to Indy and should hear something next week. Any thoughts?

Last year my 986 clutch disc completely separated into 2 pieces. All the rivets holding the disc to the center shaft broke apart.
