Richard Freilich said: Not that I am an expert in these matters, but would have drilled the holes angled in the direction of airflow and rotation.  This provides more surface area to be cooled and increases airflow.  This what my Suburban slotted and drilled front discs had.
 
I think you are describing a "vented" rotor.  Most automotive rotors are cast "vented".  To do that in a "rework" scenario would be a more significant effort. I agree, it would additionally help cooling, but more difficult to do.  Craig Berland
