• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Los Ancianos Tecate Hare Scrambles 7DEC2013

This race is on the bucket list for 2014! I kick myself in the butt for not making the road trip!
I used to live in Vista and riding and racing around So.Cal was so much fun!
Ohhhh, next year!

It was a lot of fun, but a lot of fun after I sat there and thought about it (ha, ha). A great turnout and lost of great people. The pro class, though small, was great to watch! And, to top it all off, the beer was free****************************************!

Here's a pic of me pre-race....while I was still clean and dry. My Pops asked, "You gonna be warm enough?" The answer to that was, after the fact, "Damn it's cold!!"

It had a real grassroots feel to it. People lined the banks of the river bed for the start.

For a second I thought Antonio Cairoli was in the house (ha, ha).Los Ancianos Hare Scramble 017.JPG

The afternoon races were loaded!!

222!! That was different seeing Ty Davis in 222 AXO gear as well as on a KTM450, for me though the best gear is Jordans Pink JT gear (all Wht KTM450), I guess he really wanted to stand out! (Jacky Vimond, Pink Panther tribute JT Gear).
That A row was stacked with way faster guys than I, and I was on it at the far end, I wanted lots of space around the first left corner, too many super fast moto heads gunning for the holeshot. There were so many A entries they moved the under 30A guys up a row, so we had Vet A Sen A and SSN A and this was the biggest line. As for the Pro entries which was sparse Its hard for the Los Ancianos to find a an open weekend to free up more guys, example- the Beta pro guys would have loved to do the race but had pro commitments elsewhere.
 
The b line was packed also, i tried to squeeze in the middle of it, but had to go to the far outside beyound the ribbon. I need to get Jake down here next year. Am i the only one that puckers when i ride over barbed wire?
 
I was the only one on our line that started with my front wheel lined up with the 2 surrounding bikes rear wheels (3/4 of a bike length back@). It was just too packed to do the LAMC rear facing, dead engine, throw your leg over start...and shoot with that negative 3/4 length start for a @3 hour race (@2hr for pros).....at my skill level no issue. The good payoff was an easy start and climb aboard and launch, without kicking my neighbors, or getting hung up with them. Oh yea also digging the rear tire down into the sandy riverbed some but with a nice ramp out made the leg swing lower for ease of hop on and ride out.
PS once again big salute to PNW rider Knevo for making this one.

I think that sounds like a fun time. Will see what this year brings, I might be able to make that happen.

Later.
 
I'd be up for that! I'll start working on the wife for a pass to go in to mexico(she's never been and you can't convince her that the "troubles" aren't all over....:rolleyes:)
