Following the news of her tragic death, Jessi Combs' boyfriend Terry Madden has revealed a new video of the late racer "calling her shot." The clip was filmed ahead of her land-speed attempt earlier this week, which sadly resulted in an accident that claimed her life. In the video Combs can be seen making a Babe Ruth-esque point toward the direction that she intended to travel, which the camera panned around her as she stood stoically on the desert ground.
"Calling her shot .... this was last week when we first got on the lakebed and decided to go look at the course," Madden wrote in the post caption. "[Jessi Combs] had more drive and determination than anyone the world has ever known. I was so lucky to get to enjoy so much time with her." He also added a string of hashtags, including miss you, love of my life, rad chick, and fastest on four wheels.
Many of Madden's followers have since commented on the post. "Anyone lucky enough to have met her was blessed. She was always such a strong positive force. Always with a smile. And a level of determination above every one," wrote one fan.
