What's the worst that could happen?

no concern at all with not having an oil cooler. autox's are short enough to not cause any probs. i did 7 laps concsecutively flat out around heartland park before i even got close to going into limp mode.

Also just wondering since I don't have an oil cooler yet should I be concerned? I know the runs are typically rather short but just wanted to know for sure.

Oil cooler wont impact you as much, unless you do a lot of back to back runs and the track is long. You should be ok.

You shouldn't need one. I ran into temp issues when I was hotswapping my car amongst 3 people in the middle of the alabama summer. Shy of that, shouldn't be any issues.

more importantly, an oil cooler will bump you out of any classes you can be competitive in.
