Question Burning Smell Question

Hey, what's up everyone. I've been subscribed for quite some time, but I haven't had much time to browse around. Anyway, I have a question. Whenever I drive my car hard, I smell this really strong burning smell. I don't launch my car hard or anything, I usually rev to like 1 or 2000 then feather the clutch. I shift around 6200-6300 when I'm driving aggressively. I don't think I'm being overly hard on the car, so I don't know what the smell is coming from. The car has 7k miles on it, if that's of any importance.

DISCLAIMER: I'm not too experienced with these types of things so be nice.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out.

could be from frequent feathering of the clutch?

I doubt it, because I've only launched my car a few times. The smell usually doesn't come till I'm moving faster, not right off the line.
