Houston memories: Robert Hight collects first career Funny Car win (2005)
It took Robert Hight just four races in his rookie season to score his first Funny Car win, getting the job done for the first of 55 times at the 2005 NHRA SpringNationals at Houston Raceway Park.
Robert Hight spent nearly 10 years as John Force’s clutch technician, joining him in the winner’s circle at his first event, the 1995 Mile-High Nationals – and in 40 more winner’s circles and through 19 world championships before Hight finally got…
