Hi, it sounds like street slang  to me, probably throwing a bunch of
three-point shots into a basket. Regards, Kim.

Does anyone know what "rackin' threes" means?  It is probably police jargon
if that helps any.  The book I am proofing has it.  Part way through the
book, many words that begin with the letter r have the space before them and
the r removed.  So I thought it was probably one of these errors, but wasn't
sure.  To see if it was a real phrase (and what it might mean), I put it
into google with quotes around it.  The single item returned (and I don't
know if I've ever gotten only a single item returned from google before) was
the line from the book on books.google.com

So, I know the phrase is in the book as I thought, but I still haven't a
clue what it means.
