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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Former Husqvarna factory racer Glenn Kearney will be racing the first two rounds of the GNCC season.


Corona, CA - March 8, 2012 - The 2012 Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) series kicks off in just a few short days, and the Fred Andrews Racing (FAR) Husqvarna team hopes to start the year right where they left off in 2011 - on the podium. Former factory Husqvarna rider Glenn Kearney will be filling in for the injured Andrew DeLong for rounds one and two, riding alongside FAR racer Jason Thomas in the XC2 division.

"We are excited to have Glenn back on a Husky," team manager Fred Andrews said. "He should be very competitive on the TC250 and I know that he will be a good fit until Andrew returns at the end of the month."
DeLong, who physically finished the 2011 series third in points, is still recovering from a broken collarbone and collapsed lung he suffered during a practice crash in February.

The FAR Husqvarna machines await action at the 2012 Westgate River Ranch GNCC event on Tuesday, March 13.

"It's a bummer to miss the opening round," DeLong said. "I won the last one in 2011 so it is natural to want to carry that momentum over. I'm just not ready to race yet, and we don't need to rush things. I'll be back soon enough. Until then it will be fun to watch Glenn race again!"

"Glenn is a great guy and we're thrilled to have him back with the team," commented Husqvarna Product and Racing Manager Derek Sorenson. "Obviously it's unfortunate that Andrew got injured and won't be ready for the start of the series, but he still has tremendous potential and we're looking forward to a great season with him and Jason Thomas."

Talked to Ben this morning Glenn gets here the day before Florida and leaves right after Georgia.I, am shure he is ready to go!Whonder what would happen if he wins,he's became Husky Special Agent.
 
...even though he's raced here a few years back ,I hope the lack of seat time in this Florida sand won't be a draw back....but if the current conditions stay the way they are ,he should do good.BEST OF LUCK TO THE F.A.R. team and all the other Husky racers this year :thumbsup:....LOOK for a crazy ol' guy sportin' red Husky t and hat ,screaming /cheering the Husky riders on..that would be me.They won't let me climb trees near trail 'cause they say I distract "other" racers.:rolleyes:

Hey guscycle, I'll be there with my Husky hat on too. Won't be too many of us I guess. Looking forward to seeing JT or Kearny on the podium.......... Now who could we get to ride the XC1 class?????
 
Well he just came 2nd in the first round of the Aust Off Road Championship so his form is good as present...bit strange that he is travelling 18+ hours to contest 2 rounds when he is a contender for the Aust E2 title??
 
4th overall in the outright but ran 2nd in the E2 class...which l hate the way the AORC feel the need to have an outright???

As much as l an a Husky man...go Daniel Milner in the E1!!!
