Smack Talk Radio  

Stop Cops are those guys, who masquerade as race fans, and while a real race fan’s only agenda is to see a race and root for whoever, Stop Cops have a different agenda.  They can’t wait to put stuff in the game and I do mean the kind that comes out the back of a live turkey.  When Stop Cops get involved they take the battery out the back of racers.  Real race fans will tell a racer who is thinking about a race things to build him up, like: man bump that, go at his blank, blank (and you can fill in the blanks).  They do almost anything and everything possible to put a double d sized Duracell in the back of the racer so they can see a race and best of all, they are willing to let the chips fall where they may.

Real racers say things like, We gon bet with you, I’m telling you man this other guy ain’t got nothing other over you.  Come on man, you got to do this for us, our block, our hood or our city, CMB baby, we all we got.  CMB.  I’m just saying, I’m just saying, I am just saying!  Depending on the circumstance, you might hear anything.

Now, you’ve all hear this confidence building conversation play out a hundred times with real race fans on the side, but on the other side, here is the race blocking Stop Cops conversation.

Say man, I know it ain’t really my business (and I’m thinking, you damn right, but I listen anyway) but homeboy that you locked in with, he done got so and so’s motor and they coming to bet a lot of money to stick you.  Yea, one of my boys, knows one of his mans and em’s boys, and his mans and em’s boy told him, who told my mans and em’s boy, who told my boy, who told me, that that’s what’s going down.  Now I don warned you, so you stay as far away from that car and that race as you can.  But remember you ain’t heard it from me, besides, the way I see it, losing 500 punkout is not as bad as losing 5,000 dollars, that right 5 thousand dollars, count them 4 zeros, but on the real, I’m out of it.  It’s really up to you, so what you gon do, huh, huh?  What you gon do man, huh?

And boy, oh boy, they speak with such certainty, and such authority, even the energizer bunny’s batteries would be drained after hearing all that.  And so playing on the natural fears already associated with grudge racing, Stop Cops keep going until these fears are multiplied to way past just cautious scared and into the netherworld of pay the punk out money scared. 

Now every time a racer locks in for a grudge race, they know they could be in for a surprise.  But, we can tell how confident they are by the amount they personally bet.  A small bet is a small amount of confidence and a huge amount of caution.  A very substantial bet usually indicates balls bigger than King Kong, if you know what I mean.  However, at the end of the day, by its very nature grudge racing is about stealth and secrecy, so we all should be a little cautious.  Just think about our motto, “Run what you brung and hope you brung enough.”  So, all of us are already a little skeptical, but not enough to give up our hard earned money without even so much as throwing a least a couple of punches. 

In any event, the stage has been set, now I want to know what you think.  Inquiring minds want to know the following:

·      What do you think of stop cops

·      Who has a right to play stop cop

·      What do you think of the racer that gives the stop cop an audience (I mean why listen?)

·      Finally, do you know any Stop Cops…and by the way you can name names,

·      But remember to keep it world class and just grudge, because Smack Talk is all in fun

So, without further ado, let’s get it smackin
