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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I always knew RC was smart. It appears he may use the Daytona supercross track, and presumably medical facilities/ambulances, everything, to put on classes. Logistically a superb idea. Supercross race on Saturday March 6th, class on Monday March 8th.

Nice.

Morgantown, W.Va. (January 29, 2010) -- Ricky Carmichael University is proud to announce the addition of Jeff Emig, like RC a past AMA Supercross Champion as well as Daytona Supercross winner, to the faculty for March 8th classes. Emig will work alongside Carmichael in teaching the 100 riders enrolled in this new academy, with classes being held at Daytona International Speedway. Ricky Carmichael University is a new program organized by Carmichael, MX Sports, and Daytona International Speedway as a unique opportunity for future supercross champions, as well as past prospects who still enjoy riding and bench-racing, to enjoy learning trade secrets from two of the best and most popular athletes our sport has ever known.

"I am super-pumped to have Jeff join our faculty and look forward to working with him on a fun, insightful lesson plan that our students are going to love," said Carmichael, the five-time AMA Supercross Champion and five-time Daytona Supercross winner. "I've known 'Fro' ever since I was riding 80s and he's always been a great help. In fact, I walked around Loretta Lynn's track with him once-along with maybe two hundred other kids!-when he was doing a track walk and I can still remember some of the tips he told us. He's always been champion and a great guy, and I am proud to have him joining our staff for our program."

"Ricky wants me there even though I know he's still mad about the fact that I beat him the last time we raced together!" joked Emig, referring to the 1999 U.S. Open of Supercross, his last win as a professional. "Seriously, I look forward to not only working alongside Ricky in this new program, but also with all riders young and old who will be spending the day with us at such a prestigious racing facility as Daytona International Speedway."
