David, why the 6 small holes in the thermostat?

 3: reasons,
#1 on my race car, I DO NOT run the bypass hose at the water pump, so this allows for some bypass until the thermostat opens
#2 it also allows for a little extra water flow
#3 it allows for the air to escape when filling/refilling the radiator helping to eliminate air pockets.....
