You absolutely should not. All the dust and bugs will go right into the carbs and engine. It is possible to pick up something large enough that may cause damage. Just about every fueled engine made has some kind of a filter as a rule. There is a good reason for that. You have $20K engine, it could get expensive as you accumulate hours.
