Cookie Crumb’s<br />
by Yvonne “Cookie” Anderson, 2009 SVR President<br />
Since becoming a <strong>Porsche</strong> <strong>Club</strong> member in 2005,<br />
I’ve been impressed with the large number <strong>of</strong> volunteers<br />
who step forward and make the <strong>Club</strong> a success.<br />
Whether it’s hosting a dinner, organizing a tour or<br />
serving on the Board <strong>of</strong> Directors, dedication and<br />
enthusiasm is the norm.<br />
In the next few months you will see articles written<br />
by the Treasurer, Vice President, Secretary and Social<br />
Director describing their duties.<br />
Even though were just half-way through the year, it’s<br />
time to begin planning for 2010. Four members <strong>of</strong> the<br />
ten-member Board <strong>of</strong> Directors will be “termed out”<br />
(i.e. served two years) later this year. The positions are<br />
Vice-President, Social Director, Treasurer and Secretary.<br />
Perhaps you’ve considered getting involved by contributing<br />
your time and talent to <strong>Club</strong> operations. This is<br />
your opportunity to help chart the course <strong>of</strong> our <strong>Club</strong><br />
through 2010. You’ve no doubt enjoyed many club<br />
events. You’ll find that serving on the Board is even<br />
more rewarding.<br />

Anchor Steam Beer Tour<br />
Monday, September 28, 2009<br />
The brewers at the Anchor Steam Beer brewery in San Francisco have agreed to show us how they make<br />
their beer and why they believe it to be the best beer on the planet. Then, to prove their point, they will let<br />
us taste the result <strong>of</strong> their efforts in their beautiful tasting room. (Note: their samples are generous.)<br />
The tour will start at the brewery at 11:00 A.M. on Monday, September 28 th and, with the tasting, will last<br />
about two hours. Consequently, we will be leaving <strong>Sacramento</strong> at 8:30 A.M. for a leisurely drive to San<br />
Francisco. The meeting place is the Tower Theatre parking lot, Broadway and Land Park Drive (16th<br />
Street), behind the theatre, across the street from Starbucks.<br />
At the conclusion <strong>of</strong> the tour/tasting we will have lunch in the area, or, for that matter, you are free to have<br />
lunch anywhere you wish. It is San Francisco, after all, and the sky’s the limit on good eating there.<br />
Since these tours are very popular, and sell out early, the good folks at the brewery have requested that<br />
we notify them the number <strong>of</strong> our party by September 1 st . We have only ten spots available, so get your<br />
requests in early.<br />
Call Jan and Herb at 916.424.5163, or email them at h.hoover@comcast.net<br />

The Heat<br />
By SVR Member Rob Sime, RN, Ph.D.<br />
Summer is in full swing and we <strong>Porsche</strong> people are spending<br />
more time outside in the heat. While we normally take care <strong>of</strong><br />
our basic needs almost reflexively we tend to neglect or delay<br />
taking care <strong>of</strong> these needs when we are absorbed in competition.<br />
A true athlete seldom forgets hydration, and neither should you.<br />
An autocross or DE (Drivers Education) event that takes place<br />
in summer temperatures will quickly put the body into a fluidvolume-deficit.<br />
In fact, we can sweat liters <strong>of</strong> fluid during these<br />
events.<br />
How do we lose heat? When the temperature is very high and we<br />
are very active, we produce heat much like our engines do when<br />
it is hot and we demand more <strong>of</strong> them. To cool ourselves, we do<br />
a couple <strong>of</strong> physiological things. First, we sweat – blood vessels<br />
near the skin surface dilate and pores bring the sweat to the skin<br />
surface. Some <strong>of</strong> us glisten while others drip.<br />
The cooling takes place when the air evaporates the sweat. The<br />
second way we lose heat is to breathe just a little faster. Both <strong>of</strong><br />
these methods <strong>of</strong> shedding the excess heat take place at the expense<br />
<strong>of</strong> body fluid. We sweat we lose water. We breathe and lose<br />
water with each breath we take.<br />
The signs and symptoms <strong>of</strong> a fluid volume deficit range from the<br />
annoying to the life threatening. The first sign is thirst which is<br />
our body’s way <strong>of</strong> telling us to drink. But what happens when<br />
thirst comes at turn 5 at Laguna Seca and your run group session<br />
is just starting?<br />
If you ignore thirst, it eventually leads to a dry mouth. Ignore<br />
this, and body aches and headaches will come. Beyond this, dizziness,<br />
confusion and other more serious symptoms can occur.<br />
The literature states that we can lose up to a third <strong>of</strong> our blood<br />
volume before symptoms occur. In the case <strong>of</strong> heat and activity<br />
losses, we don’t lose actual blood but the volume contracts as<br />
fluid is lost to sweat and breathing.<br />
What might be as much as 5 liters in some <strong>of</strong> us can contract to 3<br />
or 4 liters. Besides making us feel bad and perhaps more importantly<br />
to many <strong>of</strong> us, perform poorly, this can be life threatening<br />
as the incidence <strong>of</strong> heart attack and stroke goes up when blood<br />
is thicker.<br />
So how much fluid do we need to drink? The average person<br />
who weighs 154 pounds or 70kg (lots <strong>of</strong> above average people<br />
around these days!) wakes up about 880ml short <strong>of</strong> a balanced<br />
fluid volume. They have a continuous need <strong>of</strong> about 110ml per<br />
hour throughout the day. You can easily see how the pressure to<br />
get ready and get going to an autocross or DE event can defer our<br />
fluid needs for later, sometimes much later.<br />
The take home message is to drink before you’re thirsty and<br />
enough so you have to urinate at least once every couple hours.<br />
We chose to drive <strong>Porsche</strong> because we expect the most from our<br />
cars. We carefully check everything before we enter an autocross<br />
or a DE event. Which <strong>of</strong> us would autocross without knowing<br />
precisely what our tire pressures are? Who would autocross low<br />
on brake fluid or oil? Why would we not keep the driver in tiptop<br />
condition? Top <strong>of</strong>f your fluids and perform at your best and<br />
enjoy the events even more.<br />

Drifting Back – August 2009<br />
by Larry Wilson<br />
30 Years Ago (August 1979)<br />
Over 100 SVR members and friends experienced the August 5<br />
SVR Charity Picnic/Auction at Bess Feil’s home overlooking the<br />
<strong>America</strong>n River in Fair Oaks. Betty Fielding did a terrific job<br />
coordinating the event and making sure that quality items were<br />
available for the club’s auction and its well-motivated bidders.<br />
Betty’s helpers included Ken Fielding, Marie Smith, Dolores<br />
Weddle, Sally (Weddle) Boeck, Rod Craig, Pat Wilson, Delores<br />
McKinnon, Liz Stafford, and the auctioneers Kirk Bradford and<br />
Larry Wilson with help on the junior items from Colin Rueb.<br />
Over $2,500 was raised for SVR’s charity, partly because <strong>of</strong> the<br />
great turn-out for the event, and partly because <strong>of</strong> the spectacular<br />
artwork donated for auction by SVR-member Dave Marek<br />
(later chief designer for Honda car company), and by Clayton<br />
Turner, internationally known quadriplegic artist whose work<br />
was made famous by Great Western Savings and Loan calendars<br />
and illustrations in “California Heartland,” published by Capra<br />
Press, Santa Barbara.<br />
The event was featured by an article in the November 1979 issue <strong>of</strong><br />
PANORAMA which was re-printed in the book, “<strong>Porsche</strong> PAN-<br />
ORAMA, The First 25 Years.” Betty wound up her DRIFTER<br />
article quoting from 1 Corinthians 13-13 (<strong>America</strong>n King James<br />
version): “And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three: But<br />
the greatest <strong>of</strong> these is charity.”<br />
The August 4 Practice Autocross and School at Cal Expo, chaired<br />
by Stan Breyfogle and Geary Lyons, gave seven students a terrific<br />
learning opportunity and plenty <strong>of</strong> laps for the 20 drivers who<br />
signed-up for the practice sessions. A week later, on August 11, a<br />
tech session at Wyn Robertson’s Continental Auto Service featured<br />
Wyn, Dwight Mitchell, and Ken Fielding in a comprehensive<br />
discussion about paint, waxes, cleaners, and methods <strong>of</strong> keeping<br />
a <strong>Porsche</strong> in presentable shape.<br />
A few days later, on August 18, Linda Mitchell and Launa Craig<br />
presented the Wine & Culture Tour which <strong>of</strong>fered a “gas-saver”<br />
opportunity to visit the Crocker Art Galley and the California<br />
Railroad Museum, and then a fine private wine tasting, all within<br />
walking distance. The $3.00 entry included the wine tasting.<br />
20 Years Ago (August 1989)<br />
August 5 SVR’s Zone 7 Autcross, Dwight Mitchell chair, drew<br />
79 competitors. SVR drivers were Ray Clements, Larry Wilson,<br />
Greg Peart, Ken Mitchell, Bruce Westrup, Dwight Mitchell,<br />
Rich McGlumphy, Bob Peake, Kern Breaux, Nikki Duncan, Pat<br />
Wilson, Marcella Mitchell, Sue McGlumphy, Kelly Miller, Cookie<br />
Pacelli, Cathy Wolfe, Linda Mitchell, Don Girard, Mike Browing,<br />
Kevin Alioto, Tom Kroetz, and Gary Stratton.<br />
The fine administration <strong>of</strong> this event so moved SVR-member Phil<br />
Lawrence that he wrote that he wrote a letter to the DRIFTER<br />
editor: “Just a note to let the membership know what a pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
job Dwight Mitchell did with the Zone 7 Autocross, August<br />
5. From having Gate 10A open, to printing an instruction sheet,<br />
to setting up the course the night before -- a fine job. Tech was<br />
handled by our Tech Director, Herb Hoover, and it was “by the<br />
book.” Grid bosses had headset communications to timing and<br />
even the number board person was ‘wired.’ This event was an<br />
example <strong>of</strong> how all SVR autocrosses should be staged.”<br />
The August 26 Anheuser-Busch Plant Tour, Jim and Sheila Mc-<br />
Dade chairs, had something for both beer and wine fans. Jim and<br />
Sheila arranged for SVR members in 23 cars to see how Bud is<br />
made (and tastes), and then a nifty picnic lunch at Cusvaison with<br />
a bit <strong>of</strong> their product. Kirk Bradford was pressed into service at<br />
the Anheuser-Busch tasting bar. After lunch, the group visited<br />
Inglenook Winery in Rutherford.<br />
10 Years Ago (August 1999)<br />
The August 8 Progressive Dinner had its 11:00AM start in<br />
Raley’s parking lot at El Dorado Hills, and made four stops (hors<br />
d’oeuvres, salad, barbecue, and dessert). The hors d’oeuvres served<br />
at Jude and Tom Sisson’s home in Sutter Creek were accompanied<br />
by drinks made from roasted and ground beans from a tropical<br />
plant, fermented juice <strong>of</strong> grapes, fermented liquor brewed from<br />
malt, and the juice <strong>of</strong> the poor lemon mixed with water. All<br />
mixed together, I think.<br />
Next stop was salad, and Kim and Jeff Kinder in Rescue were the<br />
hosts. In no time it was back in the cars and head for the Judy<br />
Hanna/Rich Swenson abode in Cameron Park for the barbecue.<br />
Phil Lawrence arrived early giving himself lots <strong>of</strong> time for communing<br />
with wild turkeys (or, was it consuming lots <strong>of</strong> Wild<br />
Turkey, I don’t hear good). Rich Swenson had two barbecues<br />
going and Dan Catherwood was the ribs squirter. Bob Jacobson<br />
did kitchen police duty, then <strong>of</strong>f to Carol and Ira McKee’s home<br />
in Latrobe for cakes. . .lots <strong>of</strong> them (chocolate, double chocolate,<br />
white chocolate, dark chocolate, whipped cream, coconut, and<br />
fruit).<br />
SVR odds ‘n’ ends: Nearly two dozen Italian food enthusiasts<br />
attended the August 12, SVR Dinner Meeting at Il Fornaio<br />
restaurant in downtown <strong>Sacramento</strong> with Joan and Jose Uranga<br />
in charge. Tambra and Tom Kroetz won a bottle <strong>of</strong> Italian wine<br />
by getting the most answers correct to a quiz about Italy. A $40<br />
gift certificate from Il Fornaio was raffled <strong>of</strong>f. At the August 22<br />
Zone 7 concours at the Blackhawk Museum in Danville, SVR<br />
member Phil Lawrence won the Early 911 Wash and Shine class<br />
with a near-perfect score <strong>of</strong> 199.50. Other SVR winners: Greg<br />
Keith first in 914 Street class, and Joe Pitta second in 914 Wash<br />
‘n’ Shine class.<br />

Another Great SVR/Zone 7 Niello Concours<br />

SVR’s Zone 7 Concours seemed to have something for everyone<br />
this year. Niello’s generous <strong>of</strong>fer for test drives <strong>of</strong> new <strong>Porsche</strong>s<br />
was a huge hit with our club members. The 997 with PDK transmission<br />
was the most popular car tested with the Cayman coming<br />
in a close second. New to the Concours weekend this year<br />
was a dinner on Saturday evening.<br />

discount on <strong>Porsche</strong> Selection Merchandise and Jim Weber, Niello’s<br />
Service Manager, announced that in July he will be <strong>of</strong>fering<br />
a special <strong>of</strong> 50% <strong>of</strong>f labor for Air Cooled <strong>Porsche</strong>s and 20% <strong>of</strong>f<br />
parts and accessories. Not a bad way to end a wonderful day.<br />
Scheduled for the evening was a presentation by The Racers<br />
Group, but a last minute race schedule conflict kept them from<br />
our event. Everyone seemed to take the change in stride though<br />
and with 65 club members attending the dinner there was plenty<br />
to talk about.<br />
The Concours on Sunday went on without a hitch. 37 Zone<br />
members entered the Concours and a full list <strong>of</strong> award winners<br />
can be found on our Zone website. We had a beautiful display <strong>of</strong><br />
about 20 special interest <strong>Porsche</strong>s inside Niello’s service area. The<br />
cars here ranged from early 356’s and 911’s, 914’s, a factory slant<br />
nose 911 Turbo and even a few racecars.<br />
We would like to thank the many club members who helped<br />
make this event such a success and also the staff at Niello for allowing<br />
us to use their wonderful facility. If you missed the Concours<br />
this year you’ll want to be sure to make it next year as we<br />
are already planning an expanded schedule <strong>of</strong> events.<br />

Water, Water ----- EVERYWHERE!!!!<br />
<strong>Porsche</strong> Parade 2009<br />
by SVR Member Rik Larson<br />
Keystone, Colorado<br />
The 54th <strong>Porsche</strong> Parade organizers had been preaching to us for weeks and months before the event to make sure that we drank<br />
LOTS <strong>of</strong> water before we arrived in Colorado (9300 + feet). And if that was not enough prodding, there were water bottles, water<br />
glasses, and pitchers <strong>of</strong> water everywhere you went ----- the conference center, goodie store, at the social hours ---EVERYWHERE!!!!<br />
And because <strong>of</strong> the elevation, drinking much alcohol was likely to make you tipsy very quickly. Needless to say, the alcohol consumed<br />
at this <strong>Porsche</strong> Parade did not set any records.<br />
There were a couple <strong>of</strong> major surprises at the <strong>Porsche</strong> Parade : the “preview” <strong>of</strong> the Panamera (more like the North <strong>America</strong>n introduction<br />
that will occur at the Pebble Beach Concours in August); and the lack <strong>of</strong> <strong>Porsche</strong> AG representatives and <strong>Porsche</strong> family at<br />
the event. Seems that the discussions between VW and <strong>Porsche</strong> as to who was going to own who were in deep talks. The Panamera<br />
“preview” is up on YouTube (check out the information at www.pca.org, and click on the PCA News button).<br />
More than 800 cars (1800 people) attend the event hosted by Alpine Mountain and Rocky Mountain <strong>Region</strong>s. Zone 7 had more<br />
than 50 cars attend. Loma Prieta <strong>Region</strong> put together a “Posse to the <strong>Porsche</strong> Parade” while other regions traveled to the event in<br />
small groups and some even flew. One place that was not to be missed was Mom’s café in Salina, Utah ----- outstanding breakfasts<br />
and lunches.<br />
(Photo by Greg Adams from GGR <strong>of</strong> Zone 7 folks that cleaned house by winning 3 <strong>of</strong> the 4 classes in the TSD rally)<br />
Many <strong>of</strong> the Zone 7 entrants got together on Sunday night to socialize and get acuminated to the altitude (giving new meaning to<br />
the term “attitude adjustment”). Parade “check-in” occurred on Monday with the traditional welcome party held that evening. It was<br />
a buffet style event. Things took a while to get started so some eagle-eyed folks noticed that the dessert buffet table was unguarded<br />
and started ‘sampling’ early.<br />
The concours was held on Tuesday (everyone essentially bussed out to the site). Two cars from Zone 7 were entered: the Johansens<br />
from SVR with their 928, and Su Kemper and Cam Warren with their yellow ‘pretzel’ Targa. The TSD rally was held on Wednesday<br />
and Zone 7 repeated their performance at the 2004 Fort Worth Parade by winning 3 <strong>of</strong> the 4 classes. Thursday was the autocross<br />
(can you believe the performance problems at 9300 feet?). It was a first and second gear course. And if you took your Cayman and<br />
left it in first gear (rev limiter time), then you won your class in the Showroom Stock category. Friday was the tech quiz (I took<br />
dead last again in class). It was also the day for numerous tech sessions. Terry Zaccone made a presentation on “Your <strong>Porsche</strong> was<br />
born to autocross”. You can check out all the events (results, photos, etc.) at www.porscheparade2009.com. The September issue <strong>of</strong><br />
PANORAMA should have most <strong>of</strong> the issue dedicated to the Parade.<br />
The 55th <strong>Porsche</strong> Parade (July 2010) will be held in St. Charles, Illinois (take Interstate 80 east for 2000 miles and turn left about<br />
an hour before you get to Chicago). The 2011 <strong>Porsche</strong> Parade will be held in Vermont.<br />

August Membership Report by Doug Klein, Membership Director<br />
The <strong>Sacramento</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> <strong>Region</strong> <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Porsche</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>America</strong> has 578 regular members and 475 affiliate members (husband, wife, son, etc) for a total <strong>of</strong> 1,053. This<br />
past month, we had 9 new members plus 1 transfer-in from the Intermountain <strong>Region</strong> in Utah for a total <strong>of</strong> 10 new SVR members.<br />
On the other hand, it’s the time <strong>of</strong> year when people<br />
pack up and move. Five members transferred to other<br />
regions, the largest number <strong>of</strong> any single month this<br />
year. Compared to one year ago, membership has declined<br />
a remarkably small 5.7%, a testament to <strong>Porsche</strong><br />
owners’ camaraderie and love <strong>of</strong> their cars.<br />

Mendocino 2009 Tour<br />
October 30 th – November 1 st (Three Days, Two Nights)<br />
This is a 3-day, 2-night tour to the Mendocino area. And because Hallowe’en occurs that Saturday, we will have a party.<br />
And then take an extra hour <strong>of</strong> sleep because it is also the end <strong>of</strong> daylight savings time.<br />
This is a very informal tour. We will have some kite flying (weather permitting), miniature golf, and some socials<br />
activities. We have several hotels/inns that we work with to house our group. The 2007 tour had over 65 cars.<br />
We manage a block <strong>of</strong> rooms at the Hill House (contact is Tom and Tambra Kroetz at 916.989.1954), the MacCallum<br />
House Suites (contact is Frederick and Susan Rauch at 916.595.3371) and the Little River Inn (contact is Rik and Lettie<br />
Larson at 916.481.6084). We suggest that you make reservations early as the coast area tends to fill up on the weekends<br />
(even during Winter).<br />
Schedule: Leave Niello <strong>Porsche</strong> in Rocklin on Friday morning; lunch stop in the wine country; social on Friday evening.<br />
Saturday is open for kite flying, golf, shopping, etc. followed a Saturday night party. Sunday is also open, with folks<br />
generally returning home in groups.<br />
Don’t miss out on this popular tour; we even have members from other regions join us for a good time.<br />
And remember: Don’t turn your back to the ocean.<br />

Can you believe it’s August……..<br />
by Tom Sisson, SVR Goodiestorekeeper<br />
Good grief, it can’t be August<br />
already. Oh but it is.<br />
The big stores are starting<br />
to show winter clothes! Macy’s has<br />
already put winter clothes on sale!<br />
Well, the GOODIE STORE is still<br />
selling our usual cool stuff- T-shirts,<br />
caps, and polo shirts.<br />
The big news is a large number <strong>of</strong> special items that we can close<br />
out for much less than usual-really!! You may have seen some <strong>of</strong><br />
them being sold by Cookie at the last AX. Cookie has the inventory<br />
and if you Email her, I am sure she will give some ideas on<br />
size, etc. Don’t miss this sale!<br />
Warning-wearing our shirts can make members <strong>of</strong> the opposite sex<br />
chase after you! Maybe it makes them as horny as a four horned<br />
antelope. What, you say there is no such animal—well, I beg to<br />
differ! Yes, there is such an antelope, in India, named the fourhorned<br />
antelope (not very imaginative). The creature has the usual<br />
two horns between his ears and a smaller pair just over his eyes.<br />
Notice I wrote “he” and “his”. It’s the male who has the four horns,<br />
while the female is hornless (wouldn’t you just know it!). With the<br />
male extraordinarily horny but the female not horny at all, isn’t it<br />
amazing that they ever have any little four horns?<br />
Aren’t these ads educational—it’s enough to make you honk!<br />
For Goodie Store merchandise, go to your friendly Goodie Store<br />
people! See Tom Sisson or Cookie Anderson at meetings and<br />
events, or contact them (see the Drifter masthead.) Remember to<br />
allow sufficient time as many things need to be ordered.<br />
