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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

How far do you travel to race?

We traveled around a several state area for motocross, let me tell it was great showing up at some tracks where we were the only Husky and showing off what the bike can do! For Harescrables we mostly hit the closer ones that were within 4 hours away. Dont be afraid to drive, getting there is usually part of the fun!

I will drive no more than two hours for a race. Beyond that its hard to justify the cost.

I'm finding out that there are quite a few races within 2 hours but not in the same points series so going for a points placement at years end would not work out but I could race more without traveling.

In my area you could race almost every weekend or around 30plus races a year and not drive over one hour to the track. I guess it just the area you live in.

Here in MO there seems to be a lot going on but some races are once a year 100 milers and others are part of a series that spans several states there is a good 7 race series that is centered around Springfield MO which makes all the races on the west side a pretty far drive if I'm going to try to do it in one day. I guess if I get serious about chasing some points I'm going to have to get a toy hauler/camper trailer rig of some kind.
 
I think it depends on if you want to race MX or harescrambles. Theres a few tracks within an hour or so from me but I'm not into it. Theres a couple races under 2 hours but most are around 3. Sometimes I'll ride the neighboring series and drive 4 or 5 hours. I have nothing better to do on Sunday and I love racing so I don't care!
 
Were I live there is only mx tracks during summer months. My home track is only 10 min away. But there is 3 other tracks within 1 hour and 3 more within 1 1/2 hours. I agree with how camping at the the track is a great faimly thing we enjoy in are little toyhauler. Since we bought are 7-20 enclosed trailer-toyhauler we have only used are 30 foot travel trailer with 2 slides 3 times in past 3 years.
 
I've driven about 8 hours to various supermoto races.. Totally worth it when I can afford it!
