their interest in staying in
Israel."
Invitations from the ITC
go to many of these families
while they are still in the
Soviet Union. "When they
get off the plane in Israel,
the kids now are carrying
tennis rackets," said Brode,
adding tennis is now a medal
sport in the Olympics.
The centers also provide
hope for better relations
between Israel's Jewish and
Arab populations, he said,
noting there are many Arab
children in the ITC pro-
grams. This permits friend-
ly, healthy competition bet-
ween the two peoples, he ex-
plained.

Kraines' Hot Racing Duo
Heading For Detroit GP
RICHARD PEARL
Staff Writer
L
ast year at the
Valvoline Detroit
Grand Prix, the Kraco
auto racing team and driver
Bobby Rahal finished 18th
after starting sixth.
But the way Kraco chair-
man Maury Kraines is talk-
ing and feeling these days,
such disappointments are a
thing of the past.
Since beginning the racing
season as co-chairman with
Rick Galles of the newly
formed Galles-Kraco racing
team, Californian Kraines
has watched as the combina-
tion of drivers Al Unser Jr.
and Rahal have become the
No. 1 and No. 4 pilots in the
point standings of the
Championship Auto Racing
Team (CART)-PPG Indy Car
World Series.
"We finished second and
third at the first race
A major difference
in Kraco's racing
fortunes this year,
said Kraines, is
the Chevrolet
engine.
(Phoenix); first and 12th at
Long Beach; second and
fourth in the Indianapolis
500 and first and fourth at
Milwaukee last Sunday,"
said Kraines, who works
with his team at every race.
Galles-Kraco's hot pace
coming into the June 15-17
Detroit Grand Prix has seen
Unser Jr. compile 68 points
for first place in the stan-
dings and Rahal 45 for four-
th.
Detroit is different from
Phoenix, Indy and
Milwaukee in that, like
Long Beach, it is a road race
— one run on city streets,
rather than an oval race

Maury Kraines:
A flying start.
track. But that doesn't
bother Kraines; he said both
Rahal and Unser Jr., son of
racing legend Al Unser, are
good road-racers. "Little Al
has won 12 or 13 road races"
Kraines said of the younger
Unser, who began racing in
1982.
A major difference in
Kraco's racing fortunes this
year, said Kraines, is the
Chevrolet engine. "We
never had a Chevy engine
before. In the last 31 races, I
believe, Chevy has won 28."
Kraines attributes the
success of the Detroit-made
power-plant to superior en-
gineering and com-
petitiveness. Rahal, who
won the Indy in 1986, drove
a Cosworth-powered Lola
last year and won one race,
the Meadowlands, N.J., 180.
The other big difference,
he said, is the teaming with
Galles, which Kraines de-
scribes as a merger of talent
between two top-notch rac-
ing outfits.
With Galles-Kraco off to a
flying start, Maury Kraines
has no doubt the other rac-
ing teams are sitting up and
taking notice.
"They know we're here,"
he said. ❑
