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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Anybody else besides us going?

Looks like dust won't be a problem this year. Lots of rain forecasted for the next few days but dry Friday PM, Saturday and at least Sunday AM

Seems to always rain once during the weekend of Unadilla.
 
I may be there,your right about the rain and Unadilla. Bring your Rubber boots, the mud holes should be interesting.
 
Well got the call from some of our buddies north of us. They bailed on this year due to the flooding in Binghampton. Some folks are map challenged. I tried to explain to them the track location is north of the flooding and yes its going to be a MUD FEST but the event has not been canceled.

So we are out the door and on our way in 15 mins!

Too bad for them, I think its going to be an epic race weekend.
 
We have a few guys from our way, at least one on a Husky, WR300, look for him, Rick AKA the Animal. They will be the ones wearing Roost shirts and partying heavily.
 
Sorta Spoiler Alert................... JT 7 leading XC2 by 10+ sec over J Ashburn after 8 laps with 2 to go................ go Husky
 
JT took a bad line in the last hundred yards on the last lap and J Ashburn got around him for the win,he got second.
 
aargh, what a bummer. still pretty good though. I wondered what happened, was watching the live scoring feed. Still not sure how i feel about the 250 smokers against the 250 strokers.....
 
He had the hammer down all day! Right before the finish was a nasty 80 to 100 ' uphill. Water at the bottom, hard pack with lots of roots and New York rocks. Hill was beat to death and people were having trouble with it late in the race. Lots of spectators and two lines...straight up or a small detour; longer, but wider and better...When Jason hit the water he looked straight up and there was two bikes moving half way up, as soon as he committed to the straight line one of the riders on the hill bobbled the second guy blocked the only way around, Jason had to stop and could not get moving again. I jumped in with Fred Andrews and pushed, lots just say that being right behind a pinned 4 stoke on the limiter and taking roost I haven't felt in a while was no fun... but we got him going, but by that time Ashburn took the alternate route to the top and finished right before Jason.

There my be videos..he was skying the huge table top. He put an awesome ride in, just tough luck at the end.
 
Jason Thomas second!

For the 10th round the GNCC stopped in New Berlin, NY. Husqvarna rider Jason Thomas was able to take the lead in the first lap of the race. For the next hour Jason and his hardest competitor Jordan Ashburn showed the most exciting fight for the whole season so far. Over one hour the gap between the two was not bigger than 15 seconds. During 10 exhausting laps Thomas was able to defend his lead on his Husqvarna TE250 till the last uphill section in front of the finish line. 20m away of the finish a lapped rider fell off his bike in front of Jason Thomas who couldn't avoid a crash with the bike. After the race a disappointed Thomas ("Yes I am disappointed I lost the race so close to the finish. But I gained points in the championship! I am strong and my Husqvarna TXC 250 worked awesome.") also noticed some positive issues in the race. In the c hampionship Thomas was able to get closer to Steward Baylor Jr. who is now only 24 points ahead.
