 Freight Train at Loudon New Hampshire, 1978.  This is the current turn 6 - the bowl, but back then they ran the track clockwise.  Reg is on his trademark #163.  It's the Vetter Kawasaki KZ1000.  Pridmore leads the way as Mike Baldwin #43, Paul Ritter #96, Richard Schlacter #6 and Ron Pearce #97 are hot on his heels.  After leading most of the way, the Kawasaki developed a brake problem - the fronts were gone - and Reg had to let off.  Pearce eventually would win the race and Pridmore took second after Baldwin crashed out.  Reg went on to win his third Superbike Championship on this bike.
