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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Round 2 National Hare And Hound

ajaxauto

Husqvarna
Pro Class
Round 2 was this past Sunday Held in Red Mt area close to Ridgecrest Ca

The race was 2 different loops Loop 1 was 49 miles with alt gas at 23 miles in
Loop 2 was 40 miles alt gas at 19 miles in

There were 217 finishers and 95 DNF which includes those that only did 1 loop


Once again there were NO HUSKY posted in the results except mine . I have finished every race I have entered on my Husky since 2006
I finsihes 70 overall and 5th in 0 to open mag expert on my Zip Ty Husky CR 300
My son was running 15th overall on my old CR 125 when he and a road crossing did not get along and he hurt his sholder so he called it a day.
Loop 2 was one of the harder loops we have done in awhile hard but doable

To finish a National Hare and Hound is almost like a win.These races test both you and your bike.
I wish Husky would one again return with some type of team.These races are a testing ground to see if you have what it takes.There is no prerunning or early morning unclassified race like you have in motocross,WORCS,Big 6 or GNCC on a course which is under 10 miles.When you leave the start
you will not see the pits for 40 plus miles.Then you still have another 40 plus miles to go .This is where the Factory should be testing there bikes.
If your bike can finish week in and week out then you have built a good bike

Some people say But you have no TV. Really not everyone watches TV you get better veiwing of the races on Youtube and other inter net sights.
For exsample just last week on a THURSDAY was King of the Motos and invite only last man standing race.Held in the same area as where 4 of the Nationals are held.There were over 30,000
people on a Thursday out in the Desert watching 22 guys start and only 5 finish.Just look up all the Videos which have been already posted. It has only been 4 days and some of those videos have been looked at over 5,000 times.

On a side note Nic Burson exHusky now on a KAW finished 4th over all at Round 2 of the National. All the Factory teams were there BUT HUSKY
 
Dude same ole thing...like you said there was 30,000 people there...How many at a NHAH...500....no "spectators" just wifes and GFs waiting on their rider to come in....

Your get spectators you get videos...POV cams are great and I love them but they dont show how awesome the bikes you and I are riding...just about every other brand...

also, Hammer Town had TV crews, helicopter, spectators taking video...thats what it takes...all the NHAH has is Promo.tv...which does a good job...but short and not very well known...

You say not "everyone" watches TV..well you know why racertv is still on...people are watching it....Unless Husky puts promotional dollars to work via TV commercials, mag ads, and the like...No one will know that a husky is an awesome bike...

Rod Overstreet a Husky Rep in the east here is doing a Demo ride at a race this year...pretty cool....stuff like that helps where guys can swing a leg over one and realize it is good...quality components...and less money...
 
I have some pretty good pics posted. Nick Hamill finished 17th OA on his 250WR, they just have him listed wrong in the results. Here was a 125 Husky rider in the top 15 or so at the end of the first loop. I am not sure who and I don't see him in the finishers.
