I saw Bob at countless midget races over the years. In recent years Kim and I have been impressed with how Bob always seemed to be upbeat and smiling as he maneuvered his "scooter" around the pits.
God bless you, Bob. RIP

RIP Bob.

One of the classest guys I ever interviewed, or met.
Last saw him at Fort Wayne in December for the Rumble.

I can only assume that God must be wanting to run a Cosworth.

I grew up knowing Bob only as a friend of the family...I can remember going over to his shop with my grandfather and sitting on the tire of the "wedge" car and listening to him and my grandfather talk motors and set-ups for hours on end. It wasn't until much later in life that I realized just how huge of an influence Bob had on open-wheel racing. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family which includes the entire racing community. He will be sorely missed by anyone who ever had the privilege to know him. Easily one of the best people I knew. RIP Bob.

Bob Higman is my uncle. I always knew that he was well known and respected in Open Wheel Circles. My husband and I owned a drag car for several years and ran at various tracks around the MidWest. We were at a huge race in Boling Green Ky. about 8 years ago. I was setting in a line of about 250 cars waiting to make my qualifying pass and as we were chatting about motors and set ups with the drivers and their crews around us, one guy mentioned that he was having problems with his motor and when he got back home he was going to call Bob Higman and see what he thought about his issues. I never went to any big race anywhere, that someone did not know Bob Higman. Amazing ! Every form of racing has lost a hero !

He was always a friend to me. Shopping carts in his shop, what a great idea, cost me a lot of money each time I left. R.I.P. ole friend.
