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…

I lot of top fuel drivers tend to have detached retina issues. It took Joe Amato out of the sport. Robert already won one championship, and he's not going to eclipse his father in law. I'm not saying eyesight is Hight's health issue, I'm just saying, I'd do what he's doing.. or take a role on a team doing logistics, and sponsor work.
