Clutch smells really hot

I was out showing my friend the car and there is a stretch of abandoned road behind me that is about 2 miles long and we were doing a couple 120 mph runs and then I went to do a few good burnouts but they weren't good at all.

First one I tried doing in second gear from a stop which I have done a few times with very good results, but this time I revved it to about 4k and dropped the clutch and the car just kinda lurched forward and then went with no burnout.

I then did it from first and was able to get a decent one, but the clutch was really burnt smelling after we got back.

Is it possible that doing the high speed runs made it more difficult to do a proper burnout, clutch was too warm or something?

SO is that not letting the clutch out all the way and letting it hang just enough you burn it? Sorry for the noob question
