id=\"article-body\" class=\"row\" section=\"article-body\"> Enlarge Image North American Eagle We lost racer, fabricator and television personality Jessi Combs last August, after she crashed her jet-powered land-speed-record car in the Alvord Desert in Oregon. Combs was attempting to set a new women`s land speed record, and this week, Guinness World Records officially entered her time into history. According to Jalopnik, Combs completed the Guinness-required two-run minimum at Alvord, hitting a top speeds of 515.346 miles per hour and 548.432 mph. Her official speed was entered into the records as 522.783 mph, though it`s unclear how Guinness decided on that average.

Combs had previously tried to break O`Neil`s record, driving her North American Eagle Supersonic Speed Challenger to 483 mph during testing in 2018. \"It may seem a little crazy to walk directly into the line of fire,\" Combs wrote of herself just before her death. \"Those who are willing are those who achieve great things. People say I`m crazy. I say, thank you.\" The 39-year-old automotive badass was a friend and idol to many of us at Roadshow.
