Running naked carbs at the track is not technically legal unless they're under a scoop.

What fuel hose and ends are those?

Over the last ~30 years I have serviced more carbs than I can count that were fouled by that black foam after it dissolved and &quot;melted&quot; (for lack of a better term) into the carb. Getting that material out of the air bleeds is a real picnic.

I'm not sure what causes this (aside from the obvious carb backfires and subsequent fires), and I've seen plenty of cars that have ran those filters w/o issue, but I feel I would be remiss in my duties here if I didn't at least post a fair warning based on my personal experiences.

Just a heads-up. Carry on. </div></div>
Backfires are probably the majority of the problem, but I wouldn't rule out fuel incompatibility. Thanks to the EPA, today's gasoline is much harder on polymers than it used to be.
