Question engine smoke?...intake

ok guys need some help to figure out if I have a big problem on my hands. Today I was palying around with a bike and hit at least 130mph... Well i got to my girls house open the hood just to make sure car is still running good, and i noticed some white faint smoke coming from on top the intake area... this is not the first time that I noticed the smoke, last time i noticed it when I was driving regularly. but im wondering what could be causing the smoke?.. should i worry about it?
thnx

if its white smoke it could be coolant. check your coolant hoses, and check you coolant levels. also are you running above 210 degrees ?
