Bob Knudsen Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 I was a fan from watching All Girls Garage and other stuff she was in. Met her at SEMA in 2016. Got my picture taken with her and got an autographed poster. She was very gracious in person. She not only had personality but was very talented which was most impressive. Loss for her family and friends and a loss for all of us in the car hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAI-Steven Posted September 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 The Petersen Museum in Los Angeles is currently running a special exhibit dedicated to Jessie. I'm hoping that the SEMA show will also do something in her memory. https://www.sema.org/sema-enews/2019/38/motorsports-icon-jessi-combs-to-be-honored-with-tribute-and-special-exhibit-at?utm_source=ET&utm_medium=email&utm_content=310143&utm_campaign=eNews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhr1961 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 November 4, 2019 Update from autoblog.com Cause determined in Jessi Combs' fatal speed record crash, Occurred at speeds near 550 mph Jessi Combs’ fatal high-speed crash was caused by “a mechanical failure of the front wheel, most likely caused from striking an object on the desert,” accordingto the Harney County Sheriff’s Office in Oregon. This information comes to us two months after Combs’ tragic accident on the dry lake bed of the Alvord Desert. Combs was 39 years old. The investigation concluded that the front wheel failure “led to the front wheel assembly collapsing.” The sheriff's department says this happened at speeds approaching 550 mph. Both the Harney County Sheriff’s Office and the North American Eagle Race Team collected evidence from the scene to come to this conclusion. Her cause of death was determined to be blunt force trauma to the head, which happened before the vehicle was engulfed in flames. No other official information regarding the crash was released.
