It is possible to warp the drums out-of-round as
you have mentioned by applying the emergency brake
immediately after a bout of "spirited" driving, (or
whenever the brakes have been used enough to make them
inordinately hot). When the emergency brake is
applied, the shoes come in contact with the drum and
effectively change the ability for this area of the
drum (shoe contact area), to dissipate heat as compared
to the rest of the drum area. In an extreme case these two
areas cooling at different rates could cause the warpage
you've mentioned. Hope this helps-
