As far as drilling the wheel that is a NO, unless you are just out for fun or your club allows it. The hole that has been drilled into the JACO wheel optimizes the air gap in the tire.
Gluing is a must to both the outside of the wheel and the inside closest to the chassis. I will venture that 99.9% of racers who run pre-mounts glue them again to ensure that they do not come off the wheel.
Hope this helps.

So will the rubber part of these tires be the same as the Muchmore Sweep if they're indeed from the same source?
I ran some Sweeps last night (purchased by accident) and they worked fairly well, but it seemed like the 28's were a lot softer than other 28's, and got beat up by the heat pretty bad. They seemed more like 24's.

Syndrome- I honestly can't comment on the "source" because we have tested so many different compounds that I am not sure what the "source" is anymore. I can tell you that the tires that were run by FSEARA (Florida) teh pre-production blues on a prism wheel, are classififed as Jaco blues. Track temps were near 135 degrees and not 1 set that I saw suffered any of the blistering you describe.
Jaco will offer Green, Blue and Orange the corresponding or matching shore numbers are not known at this time.

Yes ,pre -mount jaco rubberz...
what im trying to know is... as long as i can't use different compound, and insert...or even soft or harder rim !
what can you do (ex :set-up on car ) to have more or less traction on rubberz
keep car consistent 5 min long ?
thank you

Spy-Not sure what your track conditions are but the JACO blue has shown to be very consistent for the whole run. There are tons of different traction additives that work. I suggest experimenting with them until you find something you like.
Opening the holes in the rim helps keep the tire cooler but agian, not something we have seen as necessary.

Thank you all !
the track as rough asphalt...with newly applied sealer !
i sauced fr and rr full with PARAGON
for the car setting .. was pretty good for first time on the track... rear was bit loose.... but again i think the tire set-up was'nt the good one.. green/green fr and rear
that's why im trying to figure out...every aspect !
thank again!

spy-paragon is very hard on rubber tires on asphalt. It seems to heat up very quickly and the bite goes away. This could be one of your problems.

you can try Tire tweak or any of the oil based additives. If yo have warmers bake the stuff in for 20 mins, wipe em dry and have at it.

The only time I've seen Paragon work well on asphalt was SoCal. And that asphalt was smooth as can be so there wasn't a lot of abrasion to beat up the tire. I'd start with something like Tire Tweek, STX 2, DIP, any of those should work well. Also, I know carpet guys talk about saucing only half the front tires and gluing up sidewalls, running a harder front tire than the rear, etc... None of that is really needed for asphalt. That stuff is usually to take away steering on the rug. We're almost always trying to get more steering running on asphalt. 
I've never seen anyone only partially sauce a tire or different compound front and rear tires running on asphalt.
