Combs, dubbed ‘the fastest woman on four wheels’, broke the 398mph record in 2013 and joined the North American Eagle Supersonic Speed Challenger team as driver that same year.
In a run last fall, Combs was able to reach a speed of just over 483 miles per hour, according to an update on her website.
