It’s Thursday. I was sad to hear that Jessi Combs—vehicle builder, race driver, fabricator, and TV personality, was killed on Tuesday in a crash while attempting to break her own land-speed record in Oregon.
Combs was a legend in the automotive world. Trained in fabrication and hot-rod building, she then made her way to automotive television. Combs was a host, builder, and technical expert on shows like Xtreme 4×4, Overhaulin’, Truck U, Two Guys Garage, All Girls Garage, and was a host and builder on a season of Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters.
