The Speed Racer Achievement is available only when the geohash falls on a drivable road. The achievement can be claimed when you drive through the geohash at the maximum (legal) speed on the correct day. Satisfactory proof will probably consist of a photo of yourself near the location, preferably with your vehicle. Note that taking pictures while driving is dangerous and not recommended, so it helps to bring a friend.

Without proof:
- Jacob, here but no proof, and also not at 4 PM. :-)
- Bill, also here and also no proof, but at 4PM. ;-)

- Matt, at the same hash but separate from the group.

- Yvh11a ran over a q-tip while achieving this award
- Jevanyn was on his way to a birthday party, so he couldn't stop for the geohash on 2008-12-06.
- Anthony wasn't driving as fast as the speed limit here, because it's awfully hard to get up to 50mph that close to the corner.
- Dtobias doesn't suppose the blurry and poorly-lit pictures here are sufficient proof. For another instance, how about this?
- DJHobby, Erik, and Kira all failed to get proof, but you can trust us!
- Sara and her husband did it here but didn't get good pictures.
