Brake rotor advise needed!
You all may remember the pics of my brothers 69 BB vert that he launched upsidedown in a creek back in 74. Well, a friend has need of a rotor so I dug out one of the brake rotors that I am pretty sure was on the car back when we parted it out. After some closer inspection, I noticed these holes which were apparently drilled into the rotor. For what, I have no idea. Anyone else have any thoughts why?
I am guessing the rotor is probably now junk and only good for a boat anchor. 
Just FYI, this is a pic of the car back in 74
