Uh, No.

"Track hubs have a stepped thread. The main thread that the sprocket screws onto is the same as that of a normal freewheel hub. Outboard of this, is another threaded section of slightly smaller diameter. This thread is a left (reverse) thread, and a special lock ring screws onto it."

It might be worth reading the article below and then go to look at a set-up FG machine to see how it functions, in particular chain line & tension.
