Vortex ROK GP - Airbox filtration?

New to karting - I purchased a used Intrepid Cruiser MS3 with a Vortex ROK GP motor. I was surprised to see that there was no filter in the airbox / intake silencer.

When I asked at the track they told me to just keep the inside of the airbox clean, especially if I go off the track.

Not running a filter is really foreigh to me. I don't want to damage the motor with it sucking in debris. Is it true these motors use just the intake silencer without a filter? Is there an aftermarket filter option that will give me a little more piece of mind without creating performance issues?

Help?

I know on the IAME engines they make small round filters that clipped on the intake tubes. They also make a foam filter that fit inside the box on the carb boot.

If you concerned about it you can use some panty hose in a pinch.
