I saw this posted on another forum, and nobody has been able to beat me.

I challenge YOU!

I guess this is a MySpace thing that's going around, but I just went to the website. If you score over 100wpm, it requires a verification typing test to make sure you didn't cheat.

Hey we're megaracers! What's the deal, can't we get to be supermega racers? Why is it 55+? What's the significance?

I've noticed after playing this game, that with the way I usually sit, body facing the screen on the left and turning my head to watch TV on the right is a bad position. It allows me a maximum of 60ish WPM. When I turn my body to the keyboard, it allows me around 90ish wpm.

Right around 78wpm. I have a couple accuracy issues though, I'm used to Word auto correcting them...
