It's not something I tried a dozen times either... maybe two or three times, max. I've never cared much for speed typing sites, until I found out a couple years ago that there was actually some tournament that had a decent cash prize (not great, but...)... so then I spent a decent amount of time on typeracer for a month or so but not much since then. Doesn't look likely that anyone is going to do a speed typing competition w/ a decent prize any time soon... well, not for keyboards anyway. Being able to text rly fast on a smart phone is a lot more meaningful..
I parked my account on there at 222wpm in last 10 (heavy race selection, obv)... Didn't do much race selection before that, so the 171 avg is pretty accurate. I haven't been to hi-games (I think that's what it's called?) in a while, but I'm pretty sure I got something like a 180 on the 30 second typing test on my second or third try.
