Read that in CN. Will be interesting to see how he stacks up. He is having a brilliant year.
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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
I'll bring my helmet camerabucket list race...... maybe next year.... dang it.
Now I have the bike and am doing pretty decent in points at the local series and am concerned about messing that up screwing off for a day at another series and getting hurt or messing up the bike lol.
The thought of racing the same course as Webb, Delong, Fahringer, Lafferty (his last season), and everyone else is freaking cool though.
Yeah it's practiceI'm hoping to make it to that race along with the WEBE race in Trinidad the following weekend. I've got about 148 different fires burning right now though, so it's gonna be tough to make even one of those races.
Nothing prevents a crash like lots of riding experience. Just consider the other series as training for the CORCS series.
A couple of years ago I was racing the WEBE race down in Farmington NM. I was on my TXC 250 going down this long sandy wash. Completely tapped out. Going as fast as any human could possibly go when Killy Rusk blasted by me like I was stuck in neutral. He was on a crf 250 then not the yzf450 he is riding now in the nationals. It's amazing to see first hand how fast even the semi top tier guys can go.![]()
What Colo Said about being out there with even the local pros....world class guys are another whole level as well.
Ive been passed by the best of the best n many different occaisions. It has definitly kept my racing and riding in its proper respective place.----- the ride for fun place
Wish ft hood was that cool when I was there lolThe Pros are just that, and always have been. They don't seem to get tired or ever slow down. In the 70' s I would ride the ISDT two day qualifier at Ft Hood in Texas as it was local to me. I thought it was challenging and the ride just kicked my butt. The Penton boys were there along with Malcolm Smith etc. Malcolm's comment afterward was that it was too easy! Top level guys are a different species!
