clutch bad?

Okay so i know there are some threads about clutches going bad and the problems but i havent seen a thread about my problem.

so i went to the track last night and every time i went to shift to third gear, it would grind. this only happens at the track, not on the street. I am shifting at about nine thousand. it sucked because it made me run a half a second slower than i usually run. i usually pull a 15.2 but i was running 15.8 all night. (temperature about 90-100 degrees. thats arizona for ya). but anyway i was just wondering if anybody had some insight to this and could help me out.

thanks!
