Obviously you can do what you want with them but Campagnolo do hundreds of hubs that are better and much cheaper for the road.
These hubs are near 40 years old and if you can find them, cost about $500 and upwards.
Those smooth tracks do exist. You might be surprised by how rough most tracks are. Even on the sweetest tracks racing involves a lot of rough and tumble. Sixty degree bankings will put some load on a hub.
Collectors collect stuff. Lots of stuff. At $500 the market is about an inch deep. There are good stocks of Sheriff Star hubs and more than a few collectors who could instantly crash the market.
