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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Glenn Kearney and FAR Husqvarna Score A Podium Finish At GNCC OpenerFred Andrews Racing puts two Husqvarnas in the top-ten overall at the Westgate River Ranch GNCC

Corona, CA - March 14, 2012 - The Fred Andrews Racing (FAR) Husqvarna team made a statement at round one of the 2012 Grand National Cross Country series in River Ranch, Florida by nabbing a podium finish and placing two Huskys in the overall top-ten. Both Jason Thomas and guest rider Glenn Kearney traded the lead in the early laps of the season opener, and when all was said and done the XC2 riders would finish third and fourth in class.

Aboard matching TC250 machines, the FAR duo of Thomas and Kearney pushed hard from the start. "We actually both had horrible starts," Kearney explained. "Jason went down in the first turn, and I couldn't get the bike lit right away. We basically went from dead last to top-two in only three laps."
"After the first-turn crash I really turned it up." Thomas recalled. "I wanted to get up front, which I did, but with a lap to go I just hit a wall. Hopefully we can come back this weekend and get back up front."

After getting stuck in the mud with two laps to go, Kearney redeemed himself and passed Thomas on the final lap to claim the final podium position, and seventh overall on the day. Thomas would hold on to fourth and finish ninth overall, nearly two minutes ahead of the next XC2 rider.

The FAR Husqvarna team will return to racing this weekend in Washington, GA for round two of the GNCC series.

Keep up the hard ridin guys!! :thumbsup:

curious do the guys have under the jersey chest protectors or do they choose not to wear them?
 
Does corporate "suggest" what bikes it would like to see during certain races or does the team get to choose. Seems a WR 300 would be the weapon of choice in sandy conditions...but, that's just me!
