The San Francisco Examiner from San Francisco, California • 58

San Francisco Examiner iAIIbasw track without a F-8 Tuesday, February 4, 1986 penis picket By Al Corona OF TIC tXAMINf P. STAFF will control the GGF operation through May 4, before Tanforan takes over for the season's final 35 days. Kacing will switch to a Wednesday-through-Sunday format on May 30. Golden Gate also will serve as host for the highly successful inter-track wagering. Bay Meadows, the original host, will now join Cal Expo in Sacramento, Stockton, Santa Ko sa and the Fresno Fairgrounds as satellite TV outlets, where the GGF races will be shown and wagers can be made.

Bay Meadows publicist Bob Wuerth yesterday credited inter-track wagering with being instrumental in the San Mateo track's financially successful season. For its 80-day program, which la to Golden Gate Fields or from the North Bay to Bay Meadows has become Increasingly difficult because of the traffic. And it will probably get worse before it gets better. "Making it easier for these fans to bet and watch the races through satellite television has to be good for business. And remember, this meeting was the first ever.

Improvements will be made." For one, a suggestion has been made by Gunderson that there be a slight reallocation of money generated by inter track betting to better reward the host track for its loss of live customers. As for the California lottery affecting betting at Bay Meadows, Wuerth admitted it was impossible to make an assessment. "We were up from last year," he said, "but concluded yesterday, Bay Meadows attracted 1,002,301 patrons for an average of 12,529 daily, up 22.3 percent over last year. The total muluel handle of $198,604,313 was a new record for an 80 day meeting. The daily handle averaged $2,482,544.

"Credit inter-track wagering for. making the difference," said Wuerth. "And you can also credit Bob Gunderson (Bay Meadows' president and general manager). He spearheaded the drive to make inter-track wagering a reality." What's more, Wuerth believes that inter-track betting has only scratched the surface. "In the first place," Wuerth pointed out, "traffic congestion was the main reason for the innovation.

"Traveling up from the Pcninsu- that was with the Inter-track bet-ting. We don't know what would have happened without It." But Wuerth doesn't believe the lottery will hurt the tracks that much. "Horse players are a different bi ecd of cal. They pride them-selves on being able pick a winner through study. Theirs is no numbers game as is the lottery.

And, who knows? Once those lottery players realize they have a better chance of winning on the horses, they may switch their gambling habits." Bay Meadows won't be dark, long. Its winter quarter-horse meeting opens on Feb. 14 and runs through April 20. Kacing will be held four days a week, with Friday and Saturday night programs start ing at 6:45 and Sunday and Monday programs at 12:30 p.m. In the feature race of yesterday's final day at Bay Meadows, Aunt Stcl took the lead shortly Otter the start and successfully cd several challenges from L'Dctcjp-live to defeat the latter by three lengths in the Moment To Buy 'Cap.

Kibbs says he and Darrcll Wallrip (three-time Winston Cup champion and winningest driver in NASCAK for the past decade) arc from the same neighborhood. "By that, 1 mean I'm controversial, too," said Kibbs with an ear-to-car grin. Kibbs will be driving 15 races for DiGard the outfit Bobby Allison left eight months ago. Kibbs has no big-bucks sponsor.

He figures he'll get one if he wins rookic-of-lhe-ycar honors. He has hopes the expertise which took him to the Trans Am driving title in 1985 will carry over into NASCAK's toughest division and earn first place in the rookie race, if not on a track. He believes 16 victories In 39 Trans Am races and 29 wins in 65 career starts gave him the necessary experience. "I'm disappointed we won't gel to debut at Daytona where all the corporate sponsors will be," said Kibbs. "But 1 want to be as competitive as possible when I drive the first race.

We're building a new car (I'ontiac) and I'll get in all the practice 1 can at Atlanta and Talladega. I'll use all my energies this year in Winston Cup driving and not compete in any other races." Kibbs said he has been received wll by Bill France and NASCAK. 5 "Bill France (NASCAK president) lias gone out of his way to help in the transition. There arc no personal or social problems." Asked if boxing promoter Don is involved in his NASCAK venture, Kibbs responded: "Absolutely not. Iln no role model.

1 set my own standard" Kibbs looks forward to rubbiflg shoulders with big names in this gamfi. "It has been said I'm an advocate contact racing. 1 look forward to nfn-ning against (Dale) Earnhardt and Wgl-trip. Any driver who is a champion knows his limits. No, I'm not going out there and run over people.

But it's goSi-na be run rubbing sheet metal. "I've won twice as many races the last three years as any other driver. My winning percentage is second only to Mar.k Donahue. My record made it obvious I was a top candidate to go to the big UnSc (Winston Cup)," Kibbs said. "You have to go with the messages you gel in life.

Things arc falling into place. 1 guess I've had a few breaks but getting to where 1 am has not been eas'. Dad nearly went broke.

Kibbs, the race driver who didn't make it at the Indianapolis 500, has redirected his attention to NASCA1L When he arrives, Itibbs may be the most outspoken driver to take to the high banks since Darrcll Wallrip. Beginning with the Atlanta 500 on March 16, four races into the Winston Cup season, Kibbs will be the new kid on the block. Actually, Kibbs is 30 years old. lie tomes from San Jose, Calif. A graduate of the Trans Am series, he will become the first black to run the Cup circuit since Wendell Scott in the mid-1970s.

Kibbs says he is low-key, but he can be brash and frank. He can trade barbs with anyone. He is undoubtedly the first rookie driver to call a 9 a.m. press conference. He knows what it means to get the attention of a battery of racing writers.

Kibbs wore a brown business suit. He added a white headband and dark glasses, to look as much as he could like Chicago Bears quarterback Jim McMa-' hon. Kibbs' headband said "NASCAR" in large letters.

"Being a black driver means nothing in the way I feel about driving a race car. When you're out there racing, it doesn't matter what color you arc. My personality has transcended my color.

You should be measured by what you do, not by your color." Kibbs realizes NASCAK is a new challenge. "NASCAK racing is different from any I've done. Thai's why 1 plan to practice as much as possible before Atlanta. 1 want to be prepared to go into the turns at Talladega at more than 200 miles an hour.

Honors for two Card MVPs Ohio Slate is 109 this season, and Miller has been under increasing public pressure during a recent tail-spin. The Buckeyes have lost five of their last six games and eight of their last 12, including a 7065 loss Thursday against a Minnesota team decimated by the loss of three players charged with sexual assault and two others suspended from the team. "1 think Kldon felt, given the lack of support that was evident in the community and some of the restrictions that we're currently working under in the basketball program, that he Just could not take the program any further," Bay $aid. "And 1 think 1 agree with that." Bay said he spoke with Miller before the Minnesota game about the direction of the men's basketball program but gave Miller a vote of confidence over the weekend after an 86-75 loss al Iowa. "1 was very surprised.

1 was shocked," Bay said of his conversation with Miller yesterday morning. "Wc didn't expect this at this point but he was insistent that it happen today." Bay said a national search for a successor would begin al once. Miller, 46, is in his 10th season as head coach at Ohio State and has compiled a 167-1 3 overall record at COLUMBUS, Ohio Ohio Slate head basketball coach Kldon Miller and the university readied a "compromise" yesterday that will pul an end lo Miller's 10-ycar tenure with the Buckeyes at the end of the current season. Miller met with OSU athletic director Kick Bay early yesterday morning to discuss the Buckeye men's basketball program, and the result was Miller stepping down. Bay, speaking at an afternoon press conference, said Miller had not resigned and had not been fired.

"He came lo sec me this morning, lie simply said il was in the best interests of the program that wc begin to look for a new coach," Bay said. "But he said he was not going lo resign because he did not like the word 'resign' because of the connotation relating lo quilting. I told, him I was not going to fire him because 1 did not like the word So the compromise essentially was that wc move ahead al the end of the season." Contacted after his team's practice yesterday, Miller refused to comment. Miller told his team of the decision before yesterday's workout.
