Group,      On my racecar I have drilled the rear drums with 3/16 holes for cooling.I stagerd the holes and spaced them about a 1 and 1/2" apart. It's an old racers trick to release the hot gas that builds up between the shoe and the drum.It does the same thing as on drilled and slotted rotors.It seems to work fine. I checked the drums for a long time for cracks ect. I've had none in about 20 years.I even use them on the street.I can't see why it wouldn't work on a FC too.
