Default AMF Valve solution

2017 Grand Sport A8 conv. Time Trials S1 class
CEL on after 4 days at NCM and one at Thompsons

Replaced last year under warranty- have extended 10 year will call on Monday
Can i track with these codes showing or risk damage or performance? Lime Rock on Wednesday
What is my best solution for tracking moving forward-not a street car but run the stock class. I have read thru many threads on the subject no clear answer

Yes no problem you can drive, just noisey with the valves clanking (may be)

"Tracking" can mean many different things. I'd think there are others out there who have already found the essential weak-links with the C7 for whatever you wish to do. I'd try to attend as many events of interest as possible, attempting to find those who've been there before you. The other option (one we've used for decades racing orphaned antiques) is to do it yourself, find each problem, and fix it as it arises. Despite GM's hype, these things really aren't race cars as delivered. All the best, and stay safe!
