Race car driver Jessi Combs was posthumously awarded the fastest land speed record by a female this week when Guinness World Records posted it that it counted her speed, meaning she officially broke the record. Combs, 39, died last year in an accident on the day of the attempt in the Alvord Desert in southeast Oregon.Combs broke the record by clocking a speed of 522.783 mph in a jet-powered car. She's the first person to break the record in more than 40 years, Guinness said.
Terry Madden, Comb's partner, wrote in a long Instagram post that he doesn't know how to feel about the achievement,"as no record could ever be worth her not being here.""But it was a goal that she really wanted - and as hard as it is for me to even look at the car without crying. I'm so proud of her," he added."She woke up that morning to an alarm saying 'lets make history' and we had an absolutely amazing day.
