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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Thats what i thought- i tried- i m already preparing for 2019.
I ordered some engine cases for a 5 speed WR450 gearbox conversion so i can run a lot higher max speed which might be the few seconds i was off to qualify.
Anyway- its only good memories beeing there- i can only recommend to participate to anyone here!

And on a yz250 :eek: I'd go big bore, smaller rear gears and bigger tire. :cheers:

i had a 19inch rear tire (Goldentyre) and an 18inch (X-Grip) Tire- the 18inch was about 3 cm more in diameter...

14:48 was not even close to be fast enough so i bought some engine cases yesterday to put an WR426 5Speed Gearbox in it (i remember have similar issues with my Husky 250 when i was looking for the older 6 speed gearboxes)

Next year i ll be prepared!
 
Hope you find that extra bit of speed, must be so frustrating to be seconds away from qualifying. Thanks for sharing this with us Miezie.

This is Blake Gutzeit (RSA) Qualify for the main Race- just listen to the Engine and you get an idea how much tospeed counts.
I tried to be faster in the tighter sections- but couldnt find anything to improve really.
 
Good work Miezie on entering such a difficult race. Most people only wish they could go watch while you threw your hat in the ring and went for it.
 
Mate to just miss out must be disapointing. Remember 99% of riders wouldn't get close.
I wish you well for next year and hope you will keep us updated on the developments on your bike.
