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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2013 Contingency Program

At least they offer contingency but I think it is pretty WEAK to have a lower payout schedule for MY2012 bikes than 2013.

What's the deal with the 125% payout thing also?
 
In our OMRA series:
  • KTM pays $250 to the winner for the season in each series, with NO per race payout.
  • Husky pays $150 per event to the winner (10-13 events in each series available), plus a series end bonus for the AA class. $150x13 = $1950
  • Yamaha-zip
  • Honda-zip
  • Kawasaki-zip
  • TM-zip
  • GasGas-zip
It is a marketing program and they are welcome to slice it however makes sense to them. It's working for us, we collected $750 last year after switching bikes mid-season to a 2011 TXC511. With any luck we will break the $2000 barrier this year on our 2013 TXC310R by riding in both series. OMRA had two class winners on Huskys this year, none the year before. Those winners switched from a Yamaha and a KTM and both collected substantial payouts in HuskyBucks. Both will be back on 2013 bikes this year. If the objective is to get successful racers to ride Husky's I would say it is working pretty well so far. Since my 2011 bikes are still viable I would love it if they included them, but I can certainly see their logic is encouraging use of new models.
 
Husky has the best program hands down and the people that run it are outstanding. And they do it in house, so you don't have to pay to get money (XTRM). :P I got $350 last year and I was in a lower-paying class and my class didn't make enough riders half the time to win. I bought myself some supplies for a bike rebuild. :) Go Husky!
 
+1 on the outstanding support. Jenna at Husky does an outstanding job managing the program and encouraging rider's efforts.
 
I'll be signing up just in case everybody else falls down:thumbsup: Not a high payout in my old fat man class but WTH, money is good......
 
12 bikes get what they always got.....13 gets a 25% bonus.......dont think of 12 as less ....think 25% more for a 13
