According to ACU regs, if less than 3 laps have been completed, original grid positions are used for the restart. More than 3 laps (but less than 2/3rds distance), grid positions are allocated based on the finishing order from first part. We had completed 8 laps out of 12 when the red flags came out, so it was counted as a result as we had reached 2/3rds distance.
Original Grid postions are taken, if the race hasn't been declared a result, then the first start is declared a non start and the race is rerun usually over a shorter distance with riders starting from their quallifying position. After the first race was Red Flagged it was originally indicated we would have a restart (I think they forgot Sat was a 12 lap race and Sun was the 15 lap races) with 1 warm up lap and 6 race laps. If that had have been the case we would have set off on a warm up lap and reformed on the grid in our original positions.
