Our thoughts and condolences go out to Kathy and family. I always enjoyed talking with Jim at the track... He was so knowledgeable and a very tough racer. He had a heck of a season in 2003, pulling off the Sportsman Trifecta, winning a National, a Divisional, and an Open on the way to finishing 4th in the world. You never wanted to see Jim on your side of the ladder when they posted it second round because you knew if you made it that far that you were going to have your hands full. That being said, we still missed seeing him and Kathy at the track over the past couple of years.

Rest in peace, my friend.

Jim was one cool cat. I will never forget some of the hilarious times my brothers and I had with him. He could sure make you laugh. Very nice obituary in the local paper here today. Had a awesome picture of Jim from one of his winners circles and mentions some of his racing accomplishments.

Here is the link

Rest in peace Jimmy you will be missed.

The whole Northrop family sends our condolences to Kathy and family.

Re: Jim Smulligan
 
I was truly saddened to log on and find this out. First met Jim back in the day when he pitted next to us with that old Time Bandit Camaro. (I think that's what it was called) Nice man, polite and a tough pairing in any round. Condolences & thoughts to Kathy & Family...


Sincerely and Respectfully,

Tim & Gary Sheehan
