Default Black Smoke in Idle!!!!!!!

I turned my car on and black smoke started commin out of my exhaust. I was like WTF?! I checked my cluster and no CEL. So I turned the car off. Then started her back up... (This never happened before)

It was ok after that. I took my car out and took it for a spin. Redlined a couple times and it ran like a champ. No problem.

Came back and turned the car off. Then turned it on one more time to check, and absolutely No black smoke. It was ok.


What could've done this???

U forgot the part about the racing ...Yeah, that is just excess gas. That happens sometimes. It used to happen on my car occasionally. If it's blue smoke then it should be oil but if it's black then it's gas.
