From the 2014 rulebook:
1I1(b) There may be no protective shield, fairing, or other device on any part of the bicycle, which has the effect of reducing air resistance
except that spoke covers may be used.
So unless this race is run under UCI rules or the organizer has instituted special regulations, you are good to go. Wheel covers are not allowed in UCI races as they are considered a fairing (not structural).
If you go a few sections down to (g) it defines what a mass start bicycle is - and is mainly concerned with handlebars (as defined in (d)). Wheels are not covered - you could actually run a solid disk wheel in a USAC road race if you wanted.
