A few other guys in the group back in the day said hurt. I'm still following hurt but I think it depends on wheel, underbody and overall vehicle disign as to how it is routing the air. Some wheels might draw in air while others are very enclosed/wide.

maybe it just cooled off faster because it was hotter and got right back down to where it started; +-a few degrees of the blank one.
In any event; Its a REALLY big waste of money
Best case scenario- you dont lose braking performance

I was thinking of something less extreme like brake dust or maybe driving down the occasional dirt road.
As far as motorcycles go the cross drilled rotor seems to make more sense as the rotor is more exposed to the air, thus an increase in the benefit of cooling and of course making mud spaghetti.

Here is a quick search I did for rally car brake setups....
Oh... but I forgot... Rally racers dont use CD-ed rotors ..
Here is a cool pic I found:
