imo I'd bet money it will show up at your next track day. Maybe not in the first session, maybe not until your last lap. First time I had it the light went off in my last two sessions for the day, didn't have a scanner didn't know what it was. I did the same thing, pulled off and panicked. Missed 1/4 of a session due to it and took it super easy the last session. The next time I pulled the code, said 'fuck it' and ran it hard.

It won't break anything to my knowledge, but it did pull power for me and it does obscure a warning light that may actually be of importance.

But people have blown the car up without a single check engine light, I'm starting to think it's more useless than I had assumed...
