Didn't know anyone still fooled with drum brakes anymore. Sounds like this method of drilling is what the old 'Vette road racers used. Hey, I don't hate drums at all. But, they do have their limits, especially when one is track racing.
Read an old SuperFord mag article the other day on racing the 427 Cobra (the real deal S/C model in ARCA, USAC, etc.). Dick Smith, the famed Cobra racer stated one had to save the brakes, do lots of downshifting and drift through many late race corners to make it to the end! Imagine the same today with powerful 4-wheel discs!.
