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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Cafe crew, Ive have not been off the podium since turning 50 in July 2011. Some races were class strict like Mag Hwt Int, but others were step downs with younger Bs and even age open class like 40+B and 45+ open... I am getting local peer pressure to step up and join the AMA 50A Exp class, from friends that race in the Exp class. I hate sandbaggers ( I have been bumped down spots in the B class by A guys that jump series and rode B, and smoked us)
The only 50A guys I know (3) 2 were MX/Offroad Pros and the one that frequents here in the Cafe has AMA Nat class #1. The best I ever did was 7th Nat B AMA H&H series.
Y'all chime in.
 
oh yea all the 40A guys I know are Nat H&H/Enduro experts, former ISDE riders and at least 2 former MX/SX and WORCS pros. Those guys will all be 50A in the next few years, those guys will all kick my butt and leave me non-competitive.

Oh yea 2012 $$$cash money$$$ is talking as well, I got a $50 gift cert from the Mex HS race 50+ open win(got me 3 containers of MotoRex 10w60) and Just received 150 Husky bucks for the D37 Anza enduro 50 B class win. Money talks.........
 
What ever is happening is happening ... Ride the $ wagon and only nod and grin at anyone who is not handing you a check :)
 
i wouldnt call it sandbagging if you kick ass in the level your in but wouldnt be competitive in the next step up. i say stay where ya are and have fun or if nothing else can you sign up for a race or two in a different class? try that out if you do good go for it if not stay in the class your in now.
 
Thanks all, I did a "soul" search last night and decided to stay B Int for 2012 (I am all ready classified with a win in the West Chec series B class). I want to do the West Chec 2 day qualifier and dont want lose my score from the Anza round.
 
Same stuff goes on here with guys winning a class always and maybe should move up or a guy that is really fast, but old, wants to move down to his real age class and dominate ...

It'll all work out and no one is getting hurt, right? One day, and who knows when, these options will not be available to you so best to just enjoy it for what it is :)....
 
Enjoy the podiums for now but I would want to move up to a bigger challenge eventually. But don't listen to me, I am not even racing now because I know one more big injury and my wife loses her sense of humor.
