RIP Jessie Combs

Died yesterday in a land speed record attempt in the northwest. She was a heckuva fabricator based on what some of the car shows she was in showed.

My hat's off to her for meeting her end doing something crazy that she loved. Albeit short, that is a life well lived.

One fellow posted over on the studebaker forum that her "car" was unsafe, and was not allowed to run at Bonneville because of it. Had to run on private land he said.

Too bad.
