ANDRA will not certify the track whilst these problems remain. Uncle Bob sticks his head in the sand and the racers are left high and dry. It's only when there is a hint of a new track at Gilman, Tailem Bend and Barmera that he puts his hand up for any possible funding. Too little, too late you old fool!
