great place for accurate oil temp when the pump is running, but you couldn't use the sender to turn the pump on or off, or even decide if the pump needs to be on, because when the pump isn't running the reading wouldn't be very accurate.

I think what they do is run the pump continuously when at the track, and maybe in heavy traffic on the street. You will need a separate bung welded into the gear box case to have the lube trigger the pump.
