Hell, half your turbo cars don't run a filter. Don't see a problem with it if you're just doing it at the track.

If the car was tuned with a filter then leave it in. I'm not a fan of running a car without a filter. Too much sand at our track.

You will be fine. I have driven my car without a filter countless miles. Is not big deal especially if you only do it at tee track.

ive been running mine without the filter or tube for about 2k miles now, but it only sees the track or out on nice days, i was also told that its hard on blower bearings? does anyone make a small mesh screen that would fit over the housing that's held on with a clamp or something? I mite just have to get creative.

I did a screen for mine made out a strainer I got at the supermarket. I will look for a picture. I use an air filter now because the blower inlet was getting dirty. I still use it every one in a while.
