Track thermostat?
#2
Why in the f would you not run a thermostat?
I learned a long time ago that running colder than stock was stupid and pointless. But perhaps there's something different about track that I don't know about. Doubt it.
Takes longer to warm up, and if your heat exchangers are not up to task, you'll still overheat.

Theseus has a gutted thermostat because it doesn't have any other coolant lines (no heater core, no oil warmer, etc).
Rover has an M-Tuned reroute with the factory oil warmer lines capped, but it still uses a heater core which allows flow before the thermostat opens.
