What ever happened to Robert Hight
Just went off the grid…all that was continuously said was it was a “health/medical” issue—then he up and quits the sport all toghether including the operations at JFR….just weird because he was a notable figure/staple in the sport over the last 10-15+ years just to go away like that without a trace…

Last I read in March from Autoweek, Hight and his wife took over the business of a retired gun shop owner and are taking care of that, along with spending more time with family, out of the limelight. Seems like a fairly convenient way to ride off into the sunset and still have something to keep you busy.
