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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

General GNCC - Powers Off Road Racing Report…

Husqvarna
Pro Class
Can you say déjà Vu?

Can you say SUX! Unbelievable! Went from 'almost holeshot' to broken collar bone in less than 5 minutes…same as last year, same place, same ugly start to the season.

I'm not a real superstitious guy, but WT*?

Works been crazy; haven't been here much, just reading and helping when I can.

As you can tell from the statement above this is not going to be very positive report, but it is what it is.
We will be back!

2013 TXC250R was prepped and ready for battle… Rider was prepped and ready for battle…
Bike is Rippin'!

The '4 Stroke A lites' class is stacked this year, knew it was going to be a 'shooting for a top 5 finish year'; which he was ok with.

We skipped Florida and the General is our usual kickoff place.
At race time on Sunday almost 75 degrees and fairly warm for us northern people.

22 bikes on row 5; came off the line good, 1st to the corner and 2nd to the holeshot stripe.



RacerTV has the whole race on video... http://racertv.com/2013/03/17/general-bikes-gncc-live
Andy's 4 Stroke A Lites start is right after the 16 minute mark...little mention for him and Husky!



Real short story line here…5 minutes later you could see them come onto an open section before they headed back out…watched his class go by; no Andy.

Couple of minutes later he came thru just idling alone, pulled in and that was that. Cased some ditch he didn't see in the dust, put him over the handlebars. Broke it right at the end of the plate from last year, not real sure where we go from here…

Man, that blows. Really hate to hear that. I was all excited when I saw the race report, but it wasn't what I expected. :thumbsdown:

Well, all I can say is hang in there and get well soon.
 
Yikes. Sorry, a standard collarbone is pleanty painfull, that will require un-hardwaring at least, might as well re-hardware while in there. Looks like it broke at the last screw.....
 
Man, sorry to hear this. Hope he heals up soon, but take the time to heal up right. That bike sure looks awesome........
 
Sucks big time ... Get a dozer and fix that part of the track ...

Get well soon Andy ...

Is he wearing shoulder pads? I've got a beatup old chest protector that has very big shoulder pads just to protect my shoulders ... Its hot to wear but I don't care...
 
Bummer!! I was wondering why I couldn't find him in the live stream. Hope to see you guys at the NE Husky gathering.
