Exclamation Lots Of White Smoke!!!!

Hey guys i was on the way to this restraunt about 15 miles form my house and i was on this nice long striaght away so i decided to race my self from a dig just to really see what it can do well 2 miles down the stright is the restraust so after i ate i came out and started my ca and it was a massive ball of smoke just kept coming out of my exhaust? i was like WTF !!! Did i blow a seal of some sort drving it like that? so i was scared so after about a min of warming up i decided to try and just get it home but after about 100 ft of driving it went away.Was this just extra un burt fuel stuck in my cat or somethign caus it does the same thign after it being floded one time.

Dont be alarmed. When i start mine up sometimes depending on the humidity, it will look like a plume of smoke is coming outta the pipes. But its just condensation from the motor. That is what it sounds like to me.
