no clutch after crusing

Hey everybody, took my fc out Sunday for a Monday cruise before parking it for some maintanace. Was gone for a good 2 hours, 80% highway rest was country road. On my way back my clutch wouldn't disengage and even after the car stalled and was dead on side of road wouldn't go in gear. After sitting a while started right back up and clutch workeds fine. Now I have checked the master and slave and bled the clutch. I have even ordered a new set to replace them while doing my other work. I have asked around and seems every on has a different solution. This is my first manual car but not the first I've had to drive frequently. The fc will still start and drive fine on shorter runs. My speed ranged from 40-90 the whole time. The car has a ACT 6 puck stage 3 clutch if that helps. If anyone can help id be greatful.

It's the hydraulics. When heated up, the seals are giving in. Not uncommon. Replace the master and slave cylinders and be done with it. Clean the hose and reservoir out really well before installing.
