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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

On Saturday at the circuit, because of the strong winds the FIM decided to cancel our first free practice sessions. In the Qualification race, I started around seventh position. I climbed up until fourth position behind Mike Alessi, Ben Townley and Max Nagl. I couldn't ride how I wanted to, and I think that's because it's a totally different track than we European riders are used to .... so I could of used the extra free training for sure!!
Sunday, moto 1: the first moto I had a great holeshot ahead of my teammates Mike and Max. I was leading the race, but I couldn't really make a gap like I wanted over second place. After a bit more that 20 minutes the shift lever came off my bike!! I still had still over 12 minutes to go!
It took a lap before I was sure which gear my bike was stuck in. It stuck in third gear! Mike passed me for the lead. But I figured out it was possible to ride in third gear almost the entire track, so I continued riding! Believe it or not, I was about to pass Mike again and I don't know how I did it but I won the first moto!
Moto 2: I started around fifth position in this race. I found my rhythm and could pass my team mate Max. Then it was Clement Desalle who was pushing in the back of me. so he passed me and then he passed Mike. Mike was now riding in third position. I was able to close the gap to him and then pass.
Ben Townley would go on to win the second moto. Desalle finished second. and I was third. The third place was enough to take the overall win, just a few points more that my USA team mate Mike Alessi.
It was a great week! The KTM USA team really took of all of us really well! The weekend was also great ... it was not easy, but in the end I found a way to adapt myself to the really hot weather, the time difference and the totally different track! It all worked out so well!
Thanks to KTM USA, and Redbull USA! I'm happy and look forward to come back to the USA for the MX of Nations in September, and the GP for next season!!
Thanks guys!!

It is embarassing to the U.S. that the big guns [ toungue in cheeck ] didn't bother themselves to pit their skills against the world. They might injure their their reps. Sad. Congradulations to the american riders who raced and did well too. I watched it on Freecasters live, David Bailey kept mentioning that the Americans always do well against the GP regulars etc. etc., they can't if they stay home David. TM and Apprilia are bad ass, the Huskys were very well prepared and ridden. I'll be there next year fer sher.
