Speed racer achievement
From Geohashing
Revision as of 10:43, 24 March 2009 by 219.90.227.196 (talk) (I disagree. If people don't supply proof, fine, but how it is was better.)
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.

- 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.

- Dtobias doesn't suppose the blurry and poorly-lit pictures here are sufficient proof.
