Anyone hear of this news yet? I know Robert is an excellent shooter, maybe going back to what he really has a passion for.

TOM WILKINSON MY RETIREMENT...

I would like to announce my retirement and the transfer of my business to Robert Hight. Robert has recently retired from racing and will be conducting the business full time going forward. I have been training Robert and he will have all the identical machines and all of my proprietary...

I’m sure Robert appreciates this guy putting his cell number on the internet.

So if Robert retired from Drag Racing did he stepping down from John Force Racing? Also is Summer Hight racing this year

For what it's worth, trapshooting is not a new hobby for Robert and his wife. There is a small local trapshooting club here in Iowa that he has been coming to for several years between the Topeka/Brainard/Indy weekends. Possibly has many as ten years.

There has to be a lot more to this story of him seemingly disappearing from the NHRA tour, and from John Force Racing with little explanation except "medical issues". If he can't drive because of said medical issues, why isn't he seen at Pomona last fall in a supporting role in any of the Force pit areas? This is a realy strange story.

I still say he wasnt sick,this almost confirms it,think something happened behind the scenes that they dont want us to know about

thinking we have a better chance of finding out who's on epstein's flight list, than the disappearance of robert hight from NHRA.
i'm pretty happy to see austin prock fill the seat though. a young man in the right position, at the right time, racing with family, with huge natural talent.

Guy's no more speculation about Robert returning needed here. We talked it is over. And he made the right decision for him.

Driving a fuel car is such a adrenaline rush, when I quit driving one it took 6 months of with drawl, then I knew it was over. I don't make a good spectator, but I still love it.

A very good book, by the way. I highly recommend it to any hard-core drag racing fan. One of the best ever writen about our sport.

Larry, I'll certainly comply but I'd like to know something. John Force Racing, of which Robert Hight was president of, is arguably the most prominent, successful and well known team in all of drag racing and it's only natural for members of a prominent drag racing forum to be curious about what's going on with him and the team the same as we all were when Coil left. The same as we all were when John got hurt. But to read some of the responses, you'd think one of us was caught red handed in bed with their wives, trying to pry answers out of one of them. It's like "none of your damn business" for even asking. We're not trying to be nosy or gossipy; this isn't the National Enquirer. Just interested and concerned fellow racers.

No offense intended but neither do I need an "if you don't like it...." response. I have zero intention of mentioning it again. Respectfully, Carl

And if Hight is really retired, then who is the President of JFR now? Does it show on their website (too lazy to check) or their Facebook page (I'm not on FB)?

It's time the under handed and off color comments come to a end. everyone watches Robert's interviews on tv, they are from the John Force school of interviewing. the real Robert is very reserved and a very different person off the track. It's time to let him enjoy life.
