However, if you look at pictures of the FTP, the dropouts look much more distinctive than what appears in that picture.

But don't ask "Can I build this into a track bike?" if you intend to "pummel through hills". What you meant to ask was "can this frame be used as a fixed gear frame?" and the answer to that is yes as long as it does in fact have horizontal dropouts.
Thank you for the somewhat positive comment. Would the drilled hole for my fork affect the way it rides?
