• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Sunday the 21st at a place called Thunder Ridge, just south of Unadilla NY. Pretty dry with some rain forecasted that never showed up...I promised you a mid-season; before the race, bike pic...

109 total racers in the morning race with 22 bikes on the 200 C line, 2nd starting row.

The front line had 5 super senior B/C riders. They started the rows 1 minute apart.

Andy pulled the holeshot and never saw any of the 21 racers from his row again until he lapped some.


At the end of the first lap he was the first bike thru OA, hauling butt and on fire...

Heading out on lap 2...

No one would see another bike for over 2 minutes. He definitly turned some heads on the 125 Husky.

He continued his pace and put in some consistant laps. When it was over he had 2nd in his class/3rd overall down by 7 minutes. The overall came from two rows back, a good rider on a KTM 350 4S. Andy held him off till the last lap and made him work for it...

A good day's work, 1st in Class and 2nd Overall...link to lap times.(page 3)

The club had a good 11 mile loop with very little in the dust. Good setup...

Lots of people asking me about him and the bike during the race and lots of people congratulating him afterwards...one guy that Andy lapped came up to him after the race shook his hand and said 'Man, when you passed me...that was crazy fast''

That's what I like to hear!

The team manager had a couple more cool pics on her camera...you can tell we had our photographer along.
She catches the start; then walks the track...and by the way; helps set things up, tear them down, cooks and gives lots of advice to racer boy...
