• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

2011 MXGP at Glen Helen

Towards the top of "The Falls" on the right is where we were seated...could see 90% of the track. Roczen, Herlings, DeSalle, and Nagl were flying...the video is over 3 minutes and their lap times were in the low 2s IIRC

Amazing how much the Video absolutely flattens out that track... makes the big triple in the back look like a little roller!!!

for some reason there are 2 vids one with motor noise and one with foo (foo is a better vid)
In moto 1 cairoli could never get a good line for yamaha hill he caught desalle there but spun out and desalle gapped him, in moto 2 frossard and cairoli crashed on the opening lap in the same spot, the little first hit on the way up yamaha hill. For TC222 yamaha hill was his nemesis.

Dennis Stapleton grew up in our box vans going to all the races in Northern Cal. I raced with his dad Dennis Sr. also a fast guy. Thanks for posting his MXA GoPro laps at Glen Helen USGP, a truely difficult and demanding circuit. That is what the Europeans see each and every GP that they ride. Truely incredible.

C ya, Jim
