Default NEED HELP!!! my car made a THUD and the clutch went limp.. and it started smoking..( STORY)

MY clutch has been slipping all week. so last nigt i was doing a little racing.. and the my clutch was preventing me from doing anything spectacular.. so we were moving from our meeting place because of cops.. and the whole drive to a new meeting spot.. my car would just rev to redline in gear.. i was going 65 mph at 7000 rpm in 5th gear.. so at a stop light i put it in first and "THUDDDD" something drops the clutch goes limp.. and the car starts smoking. MY car wouldnt go into gear. or anything it would just bog if u started it in gear!! HElp tell me what u think is wrong with my car besides failed clutch..

Besides failed clutch??? Well, I gotta tell you, that's exactly what it sounds like...
