    She checked out doing what she wanted to do---that makes her very lucky. RIP

    Great inspiration to a lot of gearheads. Glad she got to do what she wanted to do. Will be missed.

    She can weld. And cute to boot.

    She was on the bubba channel when I went thru my classic bronco phase. Too young to die.

    It looks like the run that took her life was the back up run for the record.

    515 MPH first pass backed up by a 548 MPH run.

    For a brief moment she was the fastest woman alive. Fearless!

    That's about all I needed to know about this woman.

    But, maybe my world is too small. For, I know no woman who can weld.

    Strange that no details or video have surfaced that I have seen.
