To my way of thinking, the ideal braking system on a track car will have ducting, and the owner will have made provisions for blocking that ducting off when on that type of track. Most drivers will use tape (cheap & easy); some go to the trouble of using something like expanding foam to create shaped plugs for the duct openings in the bumper cover.
you can always put some gorilla tapes on these fog light ducts but I am willing to bet you overcooling will never be an issue ( I wish I had an issue like that, that would be the least of my problems.. lol)
