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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Corona, CA - May 14, 2012 - Just one week after finishing a career-best third overall at an AMA National Enduro, Fred Andrews Racing (FAR) Husqvarna's Andrew DeLong put on an incredible charge to win the XC2 class and finish an unprecedented second overall at the Limestone 100 GNCC.

Working from a dead last start on the XC2 line, DeLong pushed his 2012 TC250 past the entire pack, capturing the lead by lap two.
"Stew (Baylor) and I were going so fast today," Andrew commented. "It's fun riding with a guy you can trust. I had to work my way to the front today, but I was on a roll, and my TC250 worked so good!"
Late in the race, DeLong physically made a run for the overall, and with one lap to go nearly made GNCC history as the first XC2 Pro Lites class rider to capture an overall victory.
"What an awesome day," team manager Fred Andrews said. "I was running in and out of the woods trying to get split times on Andrew and Baylor, but when I heard the announcer say that he was only 8 seconds off of the leader, that's when it all clicked. Andrew beat every guy out on the track, except for one... who started a minute ahead of him. Andrew's back!"
At the end of the day the XC2 rider took the checkered flag at second overall, more than 6 minutes ahead of second in his own class.
"I saw the pit boards the last few laps, but it never registered that I was that close to the overall," Andrew said. "I was in a heated battle with Stew, and it carried us both to the front. I had no idea his bike quit on that last lap; I could hear him there the whole way to the checkers. I just never looked back and focused on winning this race for myself, and the team!"
Andrew's teammate, Nick Davis chose to take the day off and heal an injured knee he suffered last weekend at the enduro.
"I am so proud of Andrew," Davis said. "This is such an exciting day, and I am just happy to be here to share it with him. I will be back in two weeks for the Mountaineer Run GNCC, hopefully we can get two Husky TC250's on the podium at that one!"

Look what the wife got!!

What an exciting 3 hours...last to first and almost first overall!

Everyone at the finsh area was checking their watch to time down the next 60 seconds after Kailub came thru...even Ricky the Flagman...

Pit row was about 2 miles before the finish line...and the one visual memory that I have, that I hope someone got a picture of, was almost every team having someone halfway out on pit lane waving or pit boarding Delong to crank it up and go for the overall!

Congrats to Andrew and the FAR team...:cheers:

Awesome results -- really excellent. Should dispell some of the "boy is that bike slow" talk.

Congrats.
