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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Post up pictures of your vintage Husqvarna bikes!

You are correct GaryM. The guy in second place in the points was also riding a Husky (Very nice guy from Louisiana, Mike Aymond) Rare for the GP class which typically has an abundance of Hondas and Yamahas.
I nearly lost the championship in the first moto. Went on the wrong gate drop! Realized it and pulled off, but couldn't get back to the gate in time. So, I was docked a lap and scored last place finish points for the moto. That pretty much eliminated my points lead, with Mike placing 3rd. The championship came down to the final moto of the year. I got the holeshot on the correct gate drop in the second moto and led for a corner until getting passed by the FAST locals who had finished 1st & 2nd in the first moto on a Honda CR and a KX respectively. I had a clean race, rode a decent pace, but not over my head and maintained the gap behind me to clinch the championship.
Was great to race at Rio Bravo, huge turn-out (only Unadilla was bigger this year), seriously hard competition, and excellent track prep. Hospitality was awesome too, free dinners, live music, and nice facilities.
