I need to be honest; I did not know Jessi Combs, did not follow her exploits, had one reference to her shenanigans when she attempted a land speed record on the Alvord Desert in 2013.
After her tragic death this week, I read A LOT about her life, achievements and fervor. I sadly missed out on her amazing tenacity.
We at NWOL, pray for her person, family and her spirit. That she left a legacy that inspires other ladies to push the limits of their envelope, personal or physical. That she was a mentor to women to want and yearn to grab life by the shoulders and ride!
A heartfelt salute to you, Jessi. Thank you for the amazing influence and legacy you left us. Hoping that more women will grab a piece of your spirit and fly.

I have watched her for several years. So many car shows, how-to shows about off road gear, mechanics, auto body, restoration, welding, racing... The list of skill and talent is endless. She will remain an inspiration to gear heads for years to come. She died going for it, fearless and amazing. I pray that the next place for her has a bad ass garage...
