(08-29-2019) - With the shocking death of race car driver, TV show host, and car builder Jessi Combs on a dry lake bed in Oregon, we offer up this tribute to "the fastest woman on four wheels!"    Jessi talked with podcast host Randy Kerdoon back in 2015 and talked about how she realized she was a car person, her start on TV, and how she wanted to be an example for woman who feared getting their hands dirty when it came to cars.    She also talks about her role in breaking a land speed record in a jet car....that ultimately took her life.
