At first I thought this term referred to the race to change a biographical article to past tense after a person dies.

I know it's cheating, but someone should write a script that does that. Would be cool just to see the link between Donald Duck and the LHC.

I actually did write a script to do this as an exercise in learning Python. I didn't realize there was a game at the time.

I don't think the Wikiracing page would be all that easy to get to, either, so it probably wouldn't significantly decrease the difficulty.
