Canadian racer Cory Graffunder, aboard his TC 449 Husqvarna, raced to an impressive victory at Round 4 of the WORCS series. The Lake Havasu round is one of the most demanding courses that WORCS will race in 2012. Cory and his Husky showed the rest of the Pro 2 class what a good bike and a well conditioned rider can do when the going gets tough. Running in fourth place on the first lap, Graffunder would move into second by lap three and was putting pressure on the leader. Once in the lead the Husky rider would put 10 seconds a lap on the KTM Factory rider Ivan Ramirez. Cory's lap times continued to drop for the entire race and he would cross the finish line well ahead of KTM riders Ramirez and Ian Blythe. Cory said on the podium “the win was great and the bike was amazing in the sand.” When asked what was next on his agenda his response was “EnduroCross 100% round 1 is in May and X Games is coming. We are testing the 310 and I will be putting a lot of laps on the new bike.” (note) Cory Graffunder is currently the points leader for the AMA West Hare Scrambles Championship series, with the next round in Shasta California.

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Well done Cory 
Excellent. Great to see someone putting the 449/511 on the podium.
side note, I rode the Lake Havasu WORCS race once. Never again. Was like riding on the moon with all the rocks and moon dust. Was a horrible experience

Last year I raced Havasu on my 1981 250 Husky. I was the oldest rider on the oldest bike to finish the race. Was it fun, sure once it was over, but another Check Mark on the bucket list of things to do.
So why give Corey the samll picture...?
