Default check engine light when launching?

so tonight was my first night at the track, and when i launched my check engine light came on, then went off after my wheel hop stopped, and then it came on again when i chirped second and then went away, i havent jumped the code yet, but what could be the cause, so me freaking out about the CEL made me run a pathetic 21.4 at 54mph.
