    a bit off topic but no it doesnt look like we are getting wr or cr 125s or 150s next year
    not on the husky website
    id say Kearney on the 310 - Oblucki te450 or maybe the wr300
    Hopefully Glen or Bartoz can get a title for Husky - should come close.
    Bartoz and Taddy came over last year and trained with Chris Hollis in our summer on the Goldcoast . They had a great time.
    It seems Hollis has missed out on a spot with Husky in Europe this year and will be with Yamaha in Oz.

    Looks like Glenn has his number reserved in 2011 for GNCC's.

    That was the first question that entered my mind... how long would he be in Austraila. Thanks! :thumbsup:

    From what I was told, the plan was for GK to ride the 1st 2 GNCCs and 1st 2 National Enduros in 2011 on AM-PRO Yamahas and then go home to Aust and race the blue bikes over there. Now that he has signed with PFG, I think that the chances of him racing over here are pretty slim.

    I wish him the best of luck in the future. GK is a great guy and Krystle is a heck of a catch.

    I think Husky (and others) are determined to make a full assault at the AORC since KTM swept all classes this season.
    GK and Oblucki plus super talented youngster Luka Busa (probably E1) for Husky

    Going to be the most competitive AORC in a long time l feel!! All we need is Josh Strang to come back with possibly AJ Roberts on the RMZ and it's on!!

    Yes It should be good - its a shame as GK was just coming good on the Husky in the GNCC - he'll feel he still has something to prove
    I wonder if Toby Price is going to do go and do more GNCCs - hes one to watch if he does- remember that name- hes young and won last 2 years

    Makes you wonder if he went on his own or was he let go as part of the reconstruction/rebuilding of Husqvarna N/A ??

    I think the 2 of them were getting homesick. He and Krystle want to get married and settle down a bit.

    AFAIK, Fred Andrews Racing Team is the Husky GNCC team for 11.

    Great to see Bart hasn't left the Husky fold yet. According to XOFFROAD,looks like both Bart and Glenn will be on the TE 310 :thumbsup:

    Bart - I thought that must have been an apt nickname for Glenn LOL
    I am surprised they are riding the same bike though
    Bart is the buy that rides with his legs hanging out and pushing off the rocks

    His brother is named Ben. Also a very good rider.
    Probably went back too.

    I talked to Ben at the Jack Pine last July and he told me that he wanted to stay in the USA even if Glenn went home. That was back in July, not sure where he is now.

    Met Glenn and some of the team at a new dealership opening on the weekend. Nice bloke.
    Glen said he was not racing the any of the GNCC races this year.
    The other young guy Luka Bassa came second in the AORC lites class last year on a wr125 and placed well overall too. Should be a good year for the guys and Husqvarna
