Exploding Rotors: why you do not drill

Since the owner of the TT stated that they "wanted to try them out", it may be
the case that the owner had simply put on the rotors and failed to bed them
properly.  IIRC, hot spots and binding can result from improper bedding of
rotors.  While the drive to the track may have been OK, the extreme conditions
encountered on the track would surely do them in, especially given the wet
conditions the day before and a questionable drilling pattern.

BTW As it was written, Taka _did not_ imply anything about Brett.  Let's not
jump to conclusions.  Just my $0.02
