red flag and was not able to join the restart.
With the "new race" being only 7 laps, Francis was determined to get back the lead he had
before the red flag. Charging from the line, the front-runners rocketed down the track with
Francis emerging as the leader. So determined was Francis to keep his lead, he established
a new lap record in the process, beating the record Clint McBain had set in qualifying just the

as he chased Francis right to the checkered flag, giving Suzuki riders another 1 2 finish.
This was Jeff's first outing on the GSX-R1000 at the National level.
