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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

The Battle of Atlanta team race

Thanks Dean. I'll mention it to my IT guy. I have no inkling when it comes to IT stuff.

Yesterday the KTM boys stayed over to test suspension. Got to show Bobbit, Baylor, Buttrick and K Russell the place. Those guys haul so much butt!!! Simply amazing to watch.

I think Goon Hammer was a team from New York state. Not sure who they were but they belonged in the AA class. They were very fast. If it's who I'm thinkig it was, one of them wore a dinner jacket during the preview lap on Saturday. It was funny and they were clearly having a good time. :)
 
I want to see more photos or better yet a video. Good on you guys for putting this on, it is a lot of work. I wonder what the turn out will be next year if the weather is nice.

This is a pretty good video for a quick turn around....

We will have a better video but I'm guessing it will take weeks.

Nice vid! Plenty good enough, but I understand that you are working on something much more spectacular.

You have given us a list of race results with the team names, but we have no idea who were on the teams, is that listed on the net anywhere? Georgia offroad? I know you gave a couple of the names.
 
No, not yet Dean but I'm working on it. The guys we paid to score the race have that info in a computer and I'm waiting on the file. I have it on paper but it's not here at home.

Here are some pictures....This is multi time GNCC Champ Barry Hawk coming off of the Treehouse of Terror...

Nick Fharinger was there aboard one of these awesome looking 'bergs. I'm not sure if this was him or not but Bart Hayes from Powersport Grafix brought these sharp bergs with fresh graphics for an upcoming DirtRider article

Congrats to you guys for putting on such a successful event. I know the hard work and dedication it takes to put on such an event, as I head up my local harescramble. I only wish I lived closer, so that I could have ridden in the event myself. Well done!

Shoot, we have 4-5 riders from Canada show up, now what's your excuse? :busted:
 
Thanks for the kind words. And thanks to BMW/Husky Atlanta for giving a $150 gift cert to the Ironman winner Corry MacDonald. Corry also took home a check for $500. Not bad for 8 hours of fun.

We're gonna do it again and maybe sooner than later. And we will go bigger and better. :)
