{{Speed racer}}

Add this '''ribbon''' to your user or expedition page to show what you have achieved!

The Speed Racer Achievement is available only when the geohash falls on a drivable road. The achievement can be claimed when, '''if it is safe to do so,''' you drive through the geohash at the maximum (legal) speed on the correct day. Satisfactory [[Achievements#Proof|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: ===
* [[user:OfficeLinebacker|Jonathan]], [[2019-05-09_39_-77|here]] but didn't take a picture while driving because safety
* [[user:jacobolus|Jacob]], [[2008-05-31_34_-118|here]] but no proof, and also not at 4 PM. :-)
* [[user:Bill|Bill]], [[2008-05-31_34_-118|also here]] and also no proof, but at 4PM. ;-)
* [[user:Geekthras|Geekthras]], [[2008-06-07_42_-71|here]], with about a dozen others.
**[[user:Matt (2008)|Matt]], at the same hash but separate from the group.
* [[user:Alex|Alex]] and [[user:Chrajohn|Chris]], [[2008-06-29 40 -82|here]], but mention must be made that the street had no posted speed limit signs on the way to or from the hash.
* [[user:yvh11a|Yvh11a]] ran over [[2008-10-29 42 -85|a q-tip]] while achieving this award
* [[User:Jevanyn|Jevanyn]] was on his way to a birthday party, so he couldn't stop for the geohash on [[2008-12-06 40 -74|2008-12-06]].
* [[User:Anthony|Anthony]] wasn't driving as fast as the speed limit [[2009-01-09 37 -121|here]], because it's awfully hard to get up to 50mph that close to the corner.
* [[User:Dtobias|Dtobias]] doesn't suppose the blurry and poorly-lit pictures [[2009-03-05 26 -80|here]] are sufficient proof.  For another instance, how about [[2010-03-27 26 -80|this]]?
* [[User:Djhobby|DJHobby]], [[User:ErWenn|Erik]], and Kira all [[2009-09-09_39_-86|failed]] to get proof, but you can trust us!

* [[User:Anthony|Anthony]] passed through [[2010-11-03 37 -122]], and posted the KML file, but didn't get a picture.
* [[User:Rincewind|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.
* [[User:Dtobias|Dtobias]] was by himself at [[2013-08-15 26 -80]] and didn't do anything so reckless as try to take pictures while driving.
* [[user:globescorer|globescorer]], [[2023-10-03 47 8|here]] but didn't take a picture while driving because safety
