He first did this at Winton where he started from the rear and charged through to 8th, before winning at Lakeside and Mallala.

The funny thing about this was that the commentaters of the races Bond won kept on praising the performance of his Toyo tyres!

They were built from Rouse kits, and got all their bits and updates from Rouse.
This is what led to Miedecke's disqualification from round 6 of the 1987 ATCC at Surfers Paradise, where he had finished 2nd. They were disqualified for a turbo irregularity, the team claiming that they received all their bits from Andy Rouse, and used to just fit them to the car, assuming they were all legal!
