Turning the car off right after a hard run can cause smoke on the next start up. At high rpms, a lot of oil is pumped into the upper part of the motor and the scavenger pumps can't keep up. The oil doesn't have time to drain out of the top of the engine, causing the smoke on the next start.
Next time idle it for a few minutes after a run before you shut it down. This actually helps cool the car better than just shutting it down right away.
