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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

But who do we contact if we have questions about the classes offered on the eligible series? For example D-17 MX "A" classes are worded wrong. There is no longer 125A there is 250A and OpenA but they also offer a 125cc class (which is just like an A class). Will this class be accepted as a A class?
Should I contact XTRM, Husqvarna Hotline, or my dealer?
Husky Relic;19354 said:Dear BlueHusky,
We expected there would be changes to class designations, number of series yearly events, etc that is another reason we have joined forces with XTRM. XTRM is a central clearning house for information between customers, promoters and us. Any changes in class designations or series numbers should be directed between the promoter and XTRM. Once XTRM has the information they will contact us and get our final approval to make changes.
To manage a program of this size and complexity is impossible by our small staff at Husqvarna. It was either discontinue it, or provide poor service(remember the 2008 claims delays?) or step up an do it professionally. We have opted for the latter. Please have your local series promoter contact XTRM with any changes to the classifications.
Regards,
Scot Harden
