Random Misfire CEL
So during a spirited drive through the mountains I get a CEL. Turns out to be a Random Misfire. The car felt fine. No loss of power, no rough idle.
Anyone else get this code during some hard driving? Am I ok to just clear it? or should I just go to the dealer?
Also, some time before the CEL. TC and Advancedtrac turned off on it's own. I was able to turn them both back on about 15 seconds later.

Hasn't come on since, 2,000 miles later but I haven't been canyon carving either. I'm not worried about it coming back on though.
