And yes, even though we have separate drums, you still shouldn't set the parking brake when track-hot. At the very least, you can melt/weld the parking brake shoes to the drum. I imagine in a really awful case, you can warp the shape of that drum, and that could in turn apply some warping force to the rotors themselves, since it's all one piece of metal and it's all hot. It only takes a few thousands of an inch of deposits or true warping to make things bad.
