Speed racer achievement

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:

• Bill, also here and also no proof, but at 4PM. ;-)
• Geekthras, here, with about a dozen others.
  • Matt, at the same hash but separate from the group.
• Alex and Chris, here, but mention must be made that the street had no posted speed limit signs on the way to or from the hash.
• 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.
• Anthony passed through 2010-11-03 37 -122, and posted the KML file, but didn't get a picture.
• Rincewind thinks the tracklogs are just a waste of time and proof is overrated, because nobody but yourself is interested in your achievements anyway, so you'd be mainly cheating yourself. He raced through 2011-02-12 50 8 because it was too easy not to.
