Amaroo Park should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

The team seemed to lose their way after this, struggling with engine reliability. When did they start running Motec engine management? Was it from the beginning? It was great to see their resurgence in 1990, capped by Bondy's two wins at Lakeside and Mallala.
They started using Motec in 1989 which was a horror season for them.
