I saw on NHRA.tv Doug's son is competing in Super Comp, I may be wrong but I think his name is Mitch.

I'm aware it's personal and no one else's business so without being intrusive, does anyone have an idea what the future may hold for Robert Hight or a general idea of why he hung up his helmet? If it was for health reasons that's all I need to know.

Best of luck to Kalitta's boy. I'm sure Dad will teach him well.

Robert officially retired from Racing and is making a living now chasing the only thing that he was ever as passionate about.

Love Doug, but...... If Mitch is looking for advice running Super Comp, he will be talking to Shawn Langdon, not "Dad".

Like AR said - he's a wing shooter and gunsmith, a very good dead eye one at that.

He's got a humongous following and it is for the better good, so ... NOTE my sig line here!

Anyone know how old Mitch is? Doug's got to be 60-ish by now. Son Mitch could be in his late 20's or early 30's.

YES!!
You are correct.
If the link doesn't work as "designed" - its just after the 1:40:28 mark:

@Jon Clark this:
Makes me think he's about 24 YO.
