Act the CRAB, Be the CRAB by Kim Nelson and Steve Barker, CRAB Co-Chairs On behalf of the entire CRAB 36 Team, we would like to thank all of you for attending SVR’s Premier Porsche Weekender. The following paragraph was taken from the CRAB 30 description; it is just as true today: “The CRAB Atmosphere is typically described as 2½ days of partying occasionally interrupted by competitive activities; the friendly and relaxed atmosphere that has been the hallmark of CRAB since its inception in 1972 will never change. A Little CRAB History,From Drifting Back, The Beginning CRAB 1 - March 4-5, 1972 – (Rich Farlinger, Jim Karver, & Ray Johansen, chairs) While competitive events are a part of CRAB, they are staged with fun and camaraderie as the most important ingredient. Sure, lots of beautiful uniquely-CRAB trophies are presented every year, some of which will go the swiftest or surest.” Gary Evans, GGR vice president planted the first seed (for CRAB) when he suggested an autocross. Phillip Marks not only consented to let us use El Macero Country Club for the crabfeed, but threw in one of his mind-bending rallyes as well. From there on – a weekend we’ll never forget. The location for this year’s CRAB is unique and was chosen over a year ago. We have SVR members Brian and Sue Sanders to thank as well as all the other members of the Eagle’s Nest Homeowners Association. Please be very respectful of their property. This is where they live and work…this is their playground! Ray Johansen joined Rich Farlinger and Jim Karver as chairs for the first CRAB, and 105 cars entered representing 10 PCA regions. The Drifter, January 1972, defined the CRAB acronym: “C is for crabfeed, R is for rallye, A is for autocross, B is for begegnen (German, for ‘meeting’). We have many sponsors for CRAB 36 who have been generous with their support. Please take a moment to visit them in Vendor Row and thank them. Without their support CRAB 36 would have been a much more challenging event to put on. Alan Johnson was guest speaker. The entry fee was $20 per couple – and included all the crab you could eat and all the wine you could drink at the El Macero Country Club (Philip Marks, manager). Voyager Inn (headquarters) room price was $13.00 double. Throughout the weekend you will see participants wearing yellow CRAB 36 t-shirts. These are the SVR volunteers who have been working the past year to put together this 3-day event. If you have questions or need guidance during the weekend, these are the people who can help you. And while you’re talking with them, thank them for helping to put on another great CRAB! Sunny autocross – Joe Reitmier (GGR) had Top Time of the Day (TTOD). John Clever (Diablo Region) won the rally. Phillip Marks put out 500 lbs. of crab and 123 quarts of white wine Saturday night, and all entrants were photo’ed with Clarence, a large stuffed crab created by Dolores Johnson. One day last November (1971), Rich Farlinger and Jim Karver went to a road race in Monterey where they were lucky enough to meet Alan Johnson. They asked Alan if he’d consider coming to SVR and being a guest speaker at a dinner meeting. Alan said yes, so Rich and Jim went to work on it. From THE DRIFTER, April 1972, by Joyce Crow Sacramento Valley Region - Porsche Club of America - www.svr-pca.org Drive Safely Please help us maintain a safe CRAB by observing all traffic laws and by driving cautiously during the weekend. This is an active airfield, so look left, right, and up before crossing the runway. Always drive on the outside edge of the pavement (watch out for landing lights) and don’t exceed the speed limit of 10 mph. Anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs is prohibited from participating in driving events. Protests? There are none! In the spirit of CRAB, we want the weekend to be fun. We depend on the honor system. 1 CRAB 36 Event Schedule Friday May 13 Registration and Welcome Party at Eagle’s Nest Airport, Hangar 3 • 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm - Registration & sign up for Rally and Gymkhana out-time and Niello Porsche Test Drives • 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm SVR Goodie Store (page 4) and Niello Porsche Boutique • 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm Funkhana– First come first served (page 4) • 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm Meet and greet old and new friends, Music by Dick MacFarlane.

We will also have our very own SVR DJ, Dick MacFarlane, playing music and perhaps also having a Karaoke Party! The Goodie Store will be open. The evening also provides an opportunity to meet and greet other Porsche enthusiasts, including folks from all around Zone 7 who make it a point to attend CRAB whenever they can. All of you more “experienced” Crabbers remember in years gone by that “Crab” specific eating utensils were occasionally available for you to buy. These helped you eat as much crab as you needed without spending hours getting it out of the shell and onto your plate. There won’t be little Crab curtains for your trailers or big camping vehicles. However, you may want to buy a Crab coffee mug to use around the campfire. (Is that still allowed in California?). We only have a few but they are cute. Or how about a small, camper sized crab ice bucket (what ice?) or some crab cocktail napkins for those late Saturday afternoon gatherings before dinner? Knowing that there are many new members attending this year, the Goodie Store is offering a limited number of Crab shell crackers and fork/scooper utensils for purchase at reasonable prices. First come, first served. Don’t forget those extra CRAB t-shirts and CRAB jewelry to complete your CRAB outfit. Did I mention that a free Crab nail tattoo comes with every CRAB jewelry purchase? We will be serving appetizers and finger food as well as liquid refreshments. All of this evening’s activities are included in the weekend ticket price. CRAB 36 Funkhana by Janet Kramer, FunkhanaChair Show off your skills Don’t take any spills It’s just “child’s play” At the end of the day We ar Two by two down the track Once you start, no turning back You will hop, roll, toss and skip It’s a “FUN” and short trip Ed Martell is the Sponsor of the Funkhana 4 this hat for ext ra No motor to start Just do your part Follow the trail There’s no way to fail Come “Get Your Kicks” At Crab 36 Sacramento Valley Region - Porsche Club of America - www.svr-pca.org cre dit. Appearance Solutions and NFS Sport Designs are Sponsors of the Welcome Party Sacramento Valley Region - Porsche Club of America - www.svr-pca.org 5 CRAB 36 Autocross by Greg Zajic, CRAB Autocross Chair Autocross is a competitive sport that tests a driver’s ability to navigate a course defined by cones or pylons which are set up on a runway for CRAB. It is a timed event where speeds are moderate with a lap generally taking about 40 - 60 seconds. There are no dangerous obstacles, only rubber cones. There is no safer and fun way to test the handling of your vehicle close to the limit. Last thought: Autocross is not necessarily about being faster than someone (unless it’s your spouse or significant other). Have a goal of knowing the course and making smooth, calculated steering and throttle inputs. It’s about making a better driver and that driver will be faster. We look forward to seeing you at the CRAB Autocross!!! What you get out of autocross, besides a huge grin, is a better understanding of car control as it applies to YOUR Porsche. It’s all about precision: Determining how to put the exact amount of steering into every turn, not more not less. How to put the right amount of power down after every turn, not more not less, How to drive at the absolute limit of your tires, not more not less. This improved understanding of the dynamics of your vehicle translates to the street. If needed on the street, you can react quickly and will be more familiar with your vehicle limits so the uh oh does not become an OH NO. Midtown Autoworks and IPB Autosport are the Sponsors of the CRAB Autocross. 6 Sacramento Valley Region - Porsche Club of America - www.svr-pca.org CRAB 36 Driving Tour by Matt and Lisa Menning, CRAB 36 Driving Tour Chairs We have a nice tour planned through Amador County Gold Country to the town of Volcano (pop. 115), a California Historical Landmark. There are two identical tours scheduled for CRAB 36. One tour is in the morning, and the other is in the afternoon. It is very important that we adhere to the schedule. It is also important that you don’t swap your tour time unless preapproved. The morning tour must be back to CRAB by 11 am, so you don’t miss lunch. More about the tour: Climbing up from Jackson on Hwy 88, the town is 30 miles from CRAB, and has a tiny main street. We are destined to swamp the town with people and Porsches. We will all need to park wisely, and parallel with the road when we arrive. Instructions: It’s always a good idea to bring “just in case items.” This includes a few water bottles, snacks, a cell phone, weather appropriate clothing, 2-way radio, and a pre-tripped car. A GPS is nice too. A pre-tripped car means checking your tires, oil, coolant and (for this tour), arriving to the drivers meeting with at least a half tank of gas. Each tour will start with a mandatory Drivers Meeting. We will congregate at the north end of the runway (same place as CRAB entrance). At the Drivers Meeting, you will signin. Route information and a map will be given out, if you didn’t pick it up on Friday night. We will also go over safety rules. • Meet at 8:00 am or 12:30 pm depending on which tour you are registered for. • There is a restroom in Volcano • There is no gas station stop included in either tour. • Stop by our information table during Friday Night’s welcome party to get an early copy of the route information and map. Sticking with the CRAB schedule, our stay in Volcano will have to be brief and we won’t have time to wander too far. There is a small general store and it’s truly a step back in time. The general manager is a local historian for the town, and we’re hoping to see her. You can purchase a souvenir and/or refreshment before we head out. Volcano 1854 Our return back to CRAB is just under 32 miles. We will continue to climb into the winding hills and drive past “Daffodil Hill” before taking even more twisty roads down to Sutter Creek and Amador City. Muffler Tech & Brake and Tomlinson & Co are Sponsors of the CRAB Walking Tour. Sacramento Valley Region - Porsche Club of America - www.svr-pca.org 7 CRAB 36 Banquet By Collin Fat and Cookie Anderson, CRAB 36 Meal Chairs With a name like CRAB 36 there must be crab of some type involved? The name could not possibly refer to crabby Porsche club members? After all, one of the club’s mottos is “it’s the people”. The undisputed king of the West Coast is the Dungeness crab, and that is what we are serving at CRAB 36! The Dungeness crab is found in chilly Pacific Ocean waters and drives fishing town economies throughout California, Oregon and Washington. The highlight of CRAB 36 will be a traditional crab feed and will feature fresh Dungeness crab (or a chicken or vegetarian entree), homemade pasta, salad, dessert and non-alcoholic beverage catered by Rudy’s Hideaway. We provide the Crab bibs and the hand wipes to clean up when dinner is over. The club is supplying two bottles of wine per table and additional alcoholic beverages can be purchased. We will be dining in a real airplane hangar surrounded by vintage aircraft and a few rare and classic cars. We will have a short program. In addition, the night would not be complete without a performance by the Speedsters for your listening and dancing pleasure at the Dance de la CRAB. The band members are all PCA members too! The Speedsters Ann Baaten - Guitar & vocals Duane Maracin - Guitar, vocals and harmonica Kim Nelson - Drums & vocals Steve Barker - Guitar, Lap Steel Guitar, keys and vocals Kent Brandon - Bass Guitar and vocals Band photographer - Jeff Kinder Niello is the Sponsor of the CRAB Banquet and The Speedsters NIELLO PORSCHE Perfection isn’t an achievement.

It is a low key self-directed tour that will amuse, bedazzle or bewilder you. (Maybe not in that order). At registration, when you pick up your packet, look for the walking tour sheet. It is your ticket into a world of weird. Be amused! Remember and please repeat this mantra --- “Fun, this is FUN!” In more recent times, three celebrities have ties to Ione. (Now this is not a part of the tour, just a mystery). They are Merle Haggard, John Wayne, and Dave Brubeck. What are their connections to Ione? Preston Castle, construction started 1890, home of Preston School of Industry, juvenile correction facility. This year’s tour takes place in downtown Ione. You take the tour on your own time beginning Friday evening. Be sure to put your answer sheet in the special box at the Beer ‘N Brats no later than 11 am on Sunday morning. The original building, known colloquially as “Preston Castle” (or simply “The Castle”), is the most significant example of Romanesque Revival architecture in the Mother Lode. Before 1849, Ione was known as “Bed Bug” and “Freeze out.” Both names were hotel reviews! Hotel accommodations are much better now. Ione’s Gold Rush period was as a supply and transportation center. The railroad was completed in 1876. At that time the town boasted four churches, four general stores, a public school, a laundry, a brewery, even an art gallery. Some were even brick buildings. It was vacated in 1960, shortly after new buildings had been constructed to replace it. The abandoned building has since been named a California Historical Landmark . It is now maintained by the Preston Castle Foundation and is open for tours. “Wikipedia” Andiamo Travel is the Sponsor of the CRAB Walking Tour. Sacramento Valley Region - Porsche Club of America - www.svr-pca.org 9 CRAB 36 Rally by Rik Larson, CRAB 36 Rally Chair So we have seen that the “C” in CRAB 36 stands for crab --- the main course for the Saturday night dinner. Now we get to the second letter: “R” which stands for the rally. The “R”, just like the “C”, has been around since the very first CRAB in 1972. The rally this year will be held on Sunday morning and will be a simple event. It will be a short time-speeddistance (TSD) event that only requires the ability to read and follow instructions (similar to SVR Tour Route Instructions) and maybe make some notations along the route by using your car’s odometer and a timepiece. The object is to pass/enter each checkpoint exactly when you are due ---- not early and not late. This is like following a bus or train schedule. When you finish the rally, you will be back in time at Eagles Nest so that you can compete in the Gymkhana and the Concours. Make sure you have a partner to drive or navigate. So that there are no excuses for not rallying, it is OK to drive your “other car.” The CRAB 36 checkpoint workers won’t discriminate. Out times will be posted at the CRAB 36 banquet on Saturday night. Be sure to check for your out time. Read the General Instructions which will A TSD Rally is a contest where be provided to you when you complete entrants (2 people per car) follow a the sign-up process with the Rally set of instructions over public roads at personnel. assigned legal speeds. Frank’s Automotive is the Sponsor of the CRAB Rally. 10 Sacramento Valley Region - Porsche Club of America - www.svr-pca.org The rally will have a rest stop or two along the way (and an opportunity to get gas if you are running low….and restrooms also). CRAB 36 Gymkhana by Dennis Stettner, CRAB 36 Gymkhana Chair CRAB would not be CRAB without a Gymkhana. For those members not familiar with this event; here is a brief review of the event. A Gymkhana is a type of motorsport. Similar to autocross, the goal of gymkhana is to achieve the fastest time possible; memorizing the course is a significant part of achieving a fast time. The name is loaned from the equestrian discipline of gymkhana. Gymkhana events are time and/or speed events in an automobile. These can feature obstacles such as cones, tires, and other unusual barriers. The driver must maneuver through a predetermined “track” performing many different driving techniques. Essentially, a gymkhana is any event featuring a starting point, a finish line and some sort of “obstacle” to get through, around, or by. This is all performed against the clock. Generally missing a turn, hitting a cone, or not performing a task will result in a time penalty added to the total elapsed time from start to finish. This year’s CRAB Gymkhana, will involve a series of tests, generally around traffic cones, to measure precision driving skills. The tests will include stopping with the front and rear wheels at specific locations, or stopping at a specific distance from a stop sign. Sections of each test may include a blindfolded driver, with the copilot giving navigation directions. We can promise you that in accordance with the long-standing CRAB tradition, having fun will be the top priority. See you there! Gymkhana courses typically involve only the use of first and second gear. A gymkhana course will typically be from 3 to 4 minutes in length. Like autocross and auto testing, gymkhana courses are laid out with cones representing “obstacles” to navigate through. Gymkhana participants are allowed two runs of the course (time permitting), with the fastest time being used to determine the best time. Time penalties are issued for hitting cones, a failure to navigate the course correctly or a failure to meet the challenges throughout the course. Due to the overwhelming response of the pre-registered CRAB 36 attendees indicating that they wanted to participate in the Gymkhana event, you will need to sign-up for a time at Registration. We only have 4 hours to accommodate everyone who wants to drive the course. In any case, you will have a blast and build wonderful memories of the course and events at CRAB 36. Elite Auto Imports is the Sponsor of the CRAB Gymkhana Sacramento Valley Region - Porsche Club of America - www.svr-pca.org 11 CRAB 36 Concours by Kent Brandon, CRAB 36 Concours Chair Before you decide not to read any further, because you really don’t like the idea of entering a concours, keep reading because this concours is not going to be like any normal concours, it’s actually going to be fun and you don’t need to clean your car, there may be a better chance of winning if it’s really dirty. The essence of the event is a weekend long competition between friends As you can see the concours is taking place at the same time beer is being served, that’s a good thing. This is not your normal concours, I’m telling you what I already told you, just in case you weren’t paying attention. There are no rules, it may not be advantageous to clean your car, and what you think is fair, or not fair, is irrelevant. It’s the way it is, based solely on what I decide the rules are. After having your beer and brat, you will be so happy; the loss of a first place trophy will also be irrelevant. In all seriousness, there will be a competition. Your car will be parked in front of Hangar 3 where the beer and brat is served. The event will not be based on cleanliness or correctness, just on silly rules that my team and I have dreamt up. Detail Maniac is the Sponsor of the CRAB Concours 12 Sacramento Valley Region - Porsche Club of America - www.svr-pca.org I can’t tell you the criteria; however I can let you know that crabby cars have won in the past. We have really nice trophies and your chance of winning is a lot better than the California Lottery. War Birds and CRAB by Brian Sanders, SVR Member and Pilot At this year’s CRAB we will be amongst a variety of aircraft. One of these aircraft is the pinnacle of propeller drive fighters, the Sea Fury. CRAB This year, weather permitting, I will be performing an “aerial ballet”demonstrating the Sea Fury’s awesome speed and agility. While beautiful to look at and impressive in its specifications, it is not until the engine comes to life and the Sea Fury takes flight that one can truly appreciate the power and majesty. The Aircraft Built by the British Company Hawker, the Sea Fury comes from a long lineage of fighting aircraft. The Sea Fury arrived on the scene too late for action in WWll. However the airplane served with distinction in the Korean Conflict. Los Angeles Dismantler is the Sponsor of the CRAB War Bird Aerial Ballet Sacramento Valley Region - Porsche Club of America - www.svr-pca.org 13 Beer ‘N Brats by Cookie Anderson and Collin Fat, CRAB 36 Meal Coordinators Not to be outdone on the fun side of things, there will be lots of celebration in the gastronomical sense with a traditional Beer ‘N Brat barbecue on Sunday following the conclusion of the Concours. Staffed by a cadre of SVR volunteers, this event is included with your registration. We’ll have some local smoked bratwurst from Sacramento’s Morant’s Old Fashioned Sausage Kitchen along with all of the fixings including the sauerkraut, potato salad, and light desserts. In addition, you are also entitled to a complimentary local beer. Rubicon Brewing Company is the Sponsor of the Beer ‘N Brats 14 Sacramento Valley Region - Porsche Club of America - www.svr-pca.org CRAB 36 Editor’s Corner by Steve and Barbara McCrory, Photography, Program and Pocket Schedule Well, here we are at CRAB 36, Sacramento Valley Region’s premier weekender, and welcome. CRAB is a long tradition, with participants attending from the Zone 7 Region clubs and beyond. The many volunteers involved in this event have turned initial discussions into detailed planning, and now into action. This CRAB 36 Program gives you the road map and information needed for your weekend of Porsche enjoyment. On page 19, you will find a list of event chairs and volunteers. If you have questions or need help, look for the yellow t-shirts worn by event leaders. Our many Sponsors have stepped up to provide their time and the resources needed to make this CRAB 36 a success. Many of them will have a presence here on Vendor Row in front of Hangar 3. Take the time to see what they are all about, and let them know you appreciate their support. As you can see from the Schedule of Events, starting with the Welcome Party on Friday night, through Sunday afternoon’s Awards presentation, there’s lots to do. Between Friday and Sunday, you will find opportunities to greet old friends and make new ones while enjoying the event. And don’t forget the contest for the Crabbiest Car and Crabbiest Person. Rules - none. Judges - secret. Have a great weekend and see you at the event. Some of the information, you may have seen in the Drifter, SVR’s monthly newsletter, in the run up to this weekend, and have been updated as necessary. I would like to thank everyone who volunteered to take photos at the event, Collin Fat, Richard Walker, Rebecca Plourde, Bill Fargo, Steve Barker and Richard Shelton. Some will be used in the Drifter with follow up articles, and posted on the SVR website while providing a visual history of CRAB 36.

With its new 3.0 liter twin-turbo engine providing an increase of 20 horsepower and a top track speed of 182 mph, it’s easy to get caught up in the numbers. Essentially, it’s like every 911 before it. Which means it’s unlike anything else in the world. To learn more about the new Porsche 911 Carrera, visit Niello Porsche today.
