Default clutch fluid boiL?

Hey guys,

I was at a drift day event last weekend. To make the story short, half way in the day after a couple runs my clutch started getting really soft and at one point got stuck to the floor. It was fine after I let the car sit for a while, but I was wondering if this was cause of the clutch fluid boiling or something similar to our brake fluid. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? Using better fluid (if so what kind)? SS clutch line? Thanks

Any Dot 4 fluid should do.

Mine did this to me at Zdayz. It definitely sucked, especially when I had to keep going down the mountain with my clutch stuck to the floor. I will definitely be going with fresh fluid next time (I was being lazy).
