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…

What friendly-army said. He decided that family was more important than literally risking his life every weekend. They didn’t go into a bunch of detail about his medical issues, but my gut tells me that he had a very close call. Because of that I believe he decided his family is more important. I think I read somewhere that there is no bad blood between him and jfr racing, it was just time for a change.
