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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

ESPN Article - Baja 100 & Kurt Caselli

adds more clarity. we have the technology to have even more safety measures. I hope alot is learned from this racing incident. As usual there is a chain of events that led to and completed this incident. When all those links join is when "it" happens.
 
It does add some clarity. Ktm Honda and Kawasaki teams all got one device with a sos button. They all decided to attach it to the bike instead of pass it off from one rider to the next baton style.

I kind of have to wonder if on one hand the article states it takes a million dollar effore but on the other hand it seems they don't disclose what kind of animal hair was stuck near the radiator.
 
one person notices a "SPOT" hasn't moved for 45 minutes, but doesn't say anything

another finds him, but doesn't know of the SOS button

hmmm...

shouldn't everyone involved with the race get some basic training of the SPOT in a pre-race safety meeting
