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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Corona, CA - July 9, 2012 - For the third time this year, Andrew DeLong and Fred Andrews Racing Husqvarna celebrated a win in the XC2 class of the Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) series. Teammate Nick Davis had a stellar ride, moving from 13th up to fifth, where he finished at the Millfield, Ohio event. High temperatures and dusty conditions meant the race was a tough one, but Andrew fought on until the final lap, ending his day atop the podium with a solid gap on second place at the John Penton GNCC.
Both FAR Husqvarna TC250s ran flawlessly and endured the Midwest heat throughout the three-hour race. Mid-pack starts meant that both FAR riders would have to fight their way through the dust, and unfortunately for Davis, the dust became a factor early.
"I got a vine around my neck just after the start," Davis explained. "I just couldn't see it. I was following Andrew, and then I was on the ground. It got me pretty good, so I had to just charge the rest of the way to make up time."
The vine yanked him off his bike, and cost him several minutes before he was going again. A solid effort from the young FAR rider saw him running as high as fourth place before settling in to fifth, where he would finish.
Up front, DeLong had a battle on his hands for the lead with Jason Thomas. The two traded the lead several times before Andrew gained control of the race after the gas stop. A mistake on lap four dropped him back to second place, but DeLong stayed right on top of the leader and applied steady pressure until he was able to regain the point. True to form, DeLong was strongest in the final laps of the race, and was able to open up a 28-second lead by the time the checkered flag came out.
"That's how I like to race!" Andrew exclaimed. "I was just following, waiting for a mistake. It was hot out, and I was just waiting 'til the last lap to see if he had anything left. My TC250 worked great, and my pit was so fast today! Missing the first two rounds, I just need to win as many of these things as I can and see where I end up in points!"
"I am so proud of the team today, and happy to see Andrew get another win!" Fred Andrews commented. "This is where this team should be finishing, and we are looking forward to finishing out the second half of the season strong!"
FAR Husqvarna returns to racing July 28th in Cross Fork, PA for the seventh round of the AMA/Rekluse National Enduro Championship.

Interesting report ... Too bad Nick caught the vine or he might be standing up there also on the podium ... I caught a vine once and it ripped me off my bike ... It was one of two times that I saw my boots with the blue sky in the background ...

This article says next race is round 7 ... I thought I read some results that that race was round 9? ... Great results so I hope they just keep going ...

Baylor don't look too happy .. hehhe ... and he's dirty all over like he's been eating roost all day or crashed ...

Round 7 of the enduro series. GNCC takes a break until fall.
 
The dust was not as bad as it was in years past. The fields were dusty but in the woods it was pretty good. They had the mx track watered very good too. I raced a TE 310 and it was suprising how well it worked, well until the heat got to me. It was a hot one!
 
One of my buddies overalled the morning race and is leading the points in his class. He runs off and leaves me, can't fathom how fast someone like Andrew Delong is!
