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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

I enjoyed that immensely!! Thanks for posting. What a blast from the past! Sure was hard hearing the announcer saying "rader" over and over but oh well awesome footage!

Thanks PA, I forgot to mention the YouTube channel with all the viddys.
PS I think Mike H actually won the CMC championship that year on the Cagiva 125 (fact check needed).
PPS the reason this whole thing came up is because Mike H is back from some very tough times, cleaned up, penitent and back to being the real larger than life Healey, the MXGP/US National/Crusty Demon/Punk Rocker/keepin it real/nice guy Healey us fans always loved. Hope to see him back in form and lined for some Vet/Sen MX/Offroad events in the future. Mike Healey knew (knows) how to put on an MX show for the race fans all while leading or while in podium position during his races. He was brilliant on the KTM during the Japanese domination of MXGP.

This brings back some times, wow. I raced Carlsbad in 1976 and 77, 4-stroke nationals. That was before Yamaha invented the 4-stroke, Ha!. The downhill in the back would pucker your stuff. Torsten Hallman, Gunnar, Mike Bell and the Moates Bros.............. couple of 4-stroke Huskies from the sixtys.
