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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

WASHOUGAL..

RD5 was really smoking in the RedBud moto 2 race so I'm not surprised if he wins both motos today ... I think he knows that the only way to the championship over the other Ryan is to pressure him into mistakes and wins most motos the rest of the yr...
 
That 250 series is really heated up now ...

That crowd looks huge!
 
It was quite a day. Morning overcast for very comfortable temperatures. Attendance surpassed last years 28000+. The Peterson Cat folks do a great job on that track.
 
Moto 1 RV started 5th and came up 2 seconds short of running down RD who rode out front all the way.
Moto 2 RD and RV 1-2 at rhe start and it didnt take long for RV to pass and build a safe cushion.
JS had solid #3 rides but the Ryans are on another level.
Tomac was on fire. Great starts. He was floating where others bounced and skipped. I would like to see lap times because Tomac looked faster than RV.

I watched the RV/RD pass from my flagging position and from my perspective after RD dropped back about 2 seconds (took a couple laps), when they both came into my area they were within a few feet (40-50) of the same distance apart for the remainder of the race.:excuseme:
But yeah, how about that Tomac! He did have a very close call with a wobbly front wheelie though in the last lap of the second moto with a comfortable lead.
Many good highlights here:

We timed some of the laps. both 250 and 450 leaders ran 2 min 11 sec to 2 min 15 sec consistently. I thought Tomac looked faster too. What a great day! We camped at Cascade Locks KOA which was a really nice spot...except for the coal trains every two hours laying on their horn. LOL live and learn. Stopped by Starvation Ridge, Eddieville, and the Hill climb east of Yakima on the way home. Fun trip!
 
I was at Washougal with my grandson. We had a blast. Visited the pits, got some autographs, and watched plenty of action.
We watched most of the races at the 1st turn, just before the Hole shot line. A great spot for action...

I happened to get this picture of James Stewart in the first Moto taking out some hay bales and about 50 ft of fence. He pulled it out. RV and Short behind him.

Ive tried camping upriver 3-4 times. Trains on both WA and OR sides....so I just got up early and drove from Eugene in the morning this year. The line to drive in was the worst I have seen it, which is one advantage of coming in from the east if you take the shortcut....I always leave that way and cross over at Cascade Locks.

Just heard thru Speed Channel,,Jeff Alessi and Friend shined a lazer light into RV1 eyes at the start of Moto 1,,I will tell you rite now,,if that was my son I'd beat the motherFo into submision, than I'd give his eyes a good beating,,just enough to give his eyes time to recover and give him what he was trying to serve up,,I'm gonna be real nice about my words,,if AMA does not revoke their (LICENSE) as a whole i'm gonna raise hell to no end.. This is bullshit,,this could have been your girl or boy..... He (Jeff or his Friend) could have blinded one of the Best Racers in Our Sport Ever... This is no different from killing someone,,his life could have easily ended on that start gate... Lets see how many of you agree..
