Repurposed Talon
A few years ago the Richardson’s out of Lake Havasu restored a 377; from engines to interior and rigging including applying an awesome high tech wrap. Big Power #6 whip.

Father Son Talon Race Team
Nicely produced clipit of Ed Smith and son Shawn Smith starting their racing relationship in the Talon 37. Sharing the thrills of racing between father and son must be the ultimate high but knowing the risks weights heavy on Dad. A number of race families have participated in the sport. Mark and Chris Lavin (Brothers-Jesse James) Kurt and Allen Dunteman(Father Son-Agitator), Chuck, Toni and Jason Neu(Dad,Mom,Son-Insanity), and Bill and Warren Gzell (Brothers) and many others. All have something in common-Past Championships

A 368 with 525s back when Suigeneris was running would be well off the pace and not competitive.
