Clutch Problem

I have an ACT street clutch and it works fine when driving normal in town or on the highway. But lately when I go to launch the car, even if the clutch is depressed all the way as I bring the rpm's up the car will creep forward instead of staying still. The higher I bring the rpm's up the more it wants to go. And then comes that wonderful smell of stinking clutch. So is my clutch done or is there something else that could be wrong?

No the clutch has been in the car for about 30k miles. It was in it when I bought it and I have put on about 8k miles. my friends knew the previous owner which is why I bought the car and he never used to abuse the car. He was more about having a part to say he had it rather than use the potential of anything so I know it wasn't constantly beat before hand.
