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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Drove to Parker on Friday in Ty's Sprinter with Ty and my dad. We signed up and went through tech. Woke up a 4:30 AM Saturday morning and set up our pit down by the river. Ty and I went to the starting line at 6:15 AM for our one lap practice. After practice my Dad went over the bike and Ty made some suspension changes. At 9 AM I rode over to the starting line and my race would start at 9:45. Shane Esposito was riding solo for David Pearson team, David was at the National Hare and Hound in Utah. I knew it would be dusty so I wanted the holeshot. Casey waved the green flag and and Espo had a little better jump than me. I tried to pass him and would pull up along side him in every conner but never made the pass. When we hit the dust I had to fall back a little bit. Course was 11 miles long. Through the pits it was Shane, me and Ricky Brabec. Ty and I switched and off he went chasing Espo. Ty came in after his lap and we switched again. Running order was Shane, me and Ricky. I pushed really hard this lap and took some chances in the dust but wanted to put some pressure on Shane. At the end of lap three I had cut Shane's lead in half and now he could see me gaining on him. I was hoping to force Shane into making a mistake. As I enter the pits my Dad waved me on so I could continue to pressure Shane. We were now on lap four and the running order was Shane, me and Ricky. I continued to close the gap and Shane made the mistake I needed to make the pass. He crashed in some high speed whoops. I slowed down as I passed to see if he was OK and he gave me a thumbs up so I got back on the gas. I handed the bike off to Ty with a comfortable lead. Ty took off for the fifth lap and the running order was Ty, Ricky and Shane. Ty finished the last two laps and we won with a good lead. Ricky was second and Shane lost several more places. We didn't have time to celebrate too much because we needed to get on the road. Ty was driving up to Honey Lake to race WORCS Sunday and I was driving to Gorman to race VCMC Qualifier on Sunday. Ty won Sunday and I don't know yet but had a good ride Sunday.
