No air filters on the street?

I'm just getting the race car running and kinda need (want) to do some pulls but I dont have air filters. Just how bad of an idea is that?

The street i wanna drive on seems clean but it is a city street...

My carb scoop does have a screen to keep out birds and small children.

Just go do what you're going to do. You don't anybodies permission.
