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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Cory was on a TXC 449. He was running second behind young Mexican up and comer Ivan Ramirez. Ramirez had some bike troubles and that allowed Cory to take the lead and from what I was told, checked out from the rest of the Pro field and takes the 1,000 dollar 1st overall prize money. Talked to Cory before the race. Really nice guy.

Zip Ty crew having a busy weekend. Cory in Tecate, Dez crew (Nick B. and David K.) at Nat. H & H Sunday and other Zip Ty crew at the Big 6 GP's (I think thats the series also going on)...

Robert Nantista raced senior class and put in a good ride...

As for me....Well, had a crappy start in the Vet class, worked my way up and was told possibly 3rd place Vet out of about 15 Vet riders...Well at least I finished on the lead lap

Mitch,
lost track of scores, sorry. I think you are top5,I think off podium. And good ride 4 laps in all the masters got 3
Corry G the Canadian conquers Tecate again.
My report, caught a muscle aching bug on thurs, ate vitas drank lots of fluids, coming into race at less than perfect state.
The course was tough, challenging and fun, there were not really any rest sections, first lap I had the best start I have ever had in any race, P2 at the holeshot gate, I did all the (there were easy and tough)tough turn off sections and set the fastest lap time in the 45+ class. L2 and 3 I took all the easy way arounds, they made you lose time, they weaved them out and around the tough sections. But of course I blew my wad on that L1 out lap, L2 was ok but I did rest a couple times (read stop and drink) and then on entering my 3rd I got lapped from Cory G and KTMs Ivan Ramirez, further into the L3 I tagged a rock that bent my brake pedal under my clutch cover (7602 bullet proof) with my brake dragging big time I had to stop and use sticks that kept breaking to bend it back out lost about 10 minutes maybe more also lost probably 3-4 positions maybe more, finished in P6 happy ok not totally happy but participation is the key, and riding the same course as extreme and endurocross rider Corry G is always cool.
PS next bike will be a smaller than 450 for sure a 250-350 4t or maybe even a 2t again, thanks to all my sponsors...........and other mod teams LTR, 7602, brux, rynopower, C&D cycles, NCM.net, GP motos
this is only my second race since open heart surgery,,,,,there is no substitute for training a lesson a relearned today.
 
Of note, it was cool to see Cory show up in the boonies of mexico with his mini size pickup with a canadian plate, his TXC449, his gearbag and 2 1 gal milk jugs (spray painted gold for ID purposes). Very simple affable racer enjoying his bike time......and winning on the new Husky TXC449 which was 99%stock, Easton bars, FMF exhaust system and a couple of other things from Ty.
 
Dude U Rip, I suck!!! I want a light weight bike for these rides********************************************************************************!!!

Truth is, at this point in my B level amateur sporting career just participating and finishing needs to be good enough!!!
