"Pop" raced the Briggs Construction X15 out of Pine Hill, NJ for many years and also
 fielded racecars for Larry Taylor and his son, Billy Briggs.  His grandsons, Jason Duppel
and Mike Brannigan, currently race at Bridgeport and will continue to race on in his memory. 
This past spring, Jim celebrated his 80th birthday.  It was standing room only as Jim spent
the day enjoying the time with family and friends.  Jim seemed to have a great time, laughing,
hamming it up for the camera and dancing. 
He will be greatly missed by all that came to know him.  Our condolences to the family of Mr. Briggs.
Rest in peace "Pop".

Fall of 2004.  Warren Alston presents the checkered to Billy and Jim.
