RIP Jessi. You were truly talented in many fields, and an inspiration to girls and women all over the world...you will be sorely missed.

Thank goodness she died quickly ( literally ) doing what she loved.

An unexpected but very probable eventuality of engaging in a dangerous and unpredictable activity.
This was just a few hours SE of me.

Jessi was an amazing human. I watched her every weekend on extreme 4x4. She was a very knowledgeable and entertaining host and very accomplished driver. As MrEd said, a tragic but not surprising outcome from driving a 52,000 hp car at speeds over 500 mph... I think it would be very tough to love someone like her. You would have to be willing to accept that this day would likely come far too early!

I too watched her every weekend on Extreme 4x4. I know people that have met her in person and they raved about how nice she was. RIP

When my wife told me she died, I asked how. She said she crashed on a speed run. The first words out of my mouth were " that was her " . She died doing what she loved. Going to miss her.
