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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

The mothership wins big at A1

Vintage Stew racing (racing not following) right down to a very clean pass on CR22, just like the olden days and apparently forever ... He probably had to take a moment to enjoy that moment again at this stage of his career. Stew, RD5, RV2 -- Top speed guys and we wait for Millsaps to show up on his new bike. Not sure where he fits but there will be lots of battles in the top 8 places by some fast riders all yr.

yeah but WOW he was fast. Caught ALL the top guys and past them at will. RC was right, you have to commit in those whoops and he got caught. Just to the right of center was a back and forth kicker, saw it early in the race. When he move over there to past I was like "oh no" and yep, got him. He looked thin, focused, relaxed and FAST. Sucked that happened.

Sucked for Tomac. Expected more from Bracha. Alessi was interesting. Very entertaining and pretty well covered. Liked it.

Yeah, I was bummed for Stewart. That was some NASTY fishtailing. And it's ironic that whoops took him out because he IS the Whoop Meister. No one rails through whoops like Stewart. He did so well up to that point. I'm hoping that he doesn't let it get him down and can come back strong. I do have to wonder about his comment afterwards about still being able to keep up. That sounds like a rider ready to hang it up.

Stew had a big advantage in the whoops, but that was yrs ago. Everyone else was forced to step up or get dusted each lap. He might still have a slight edge but we see what just happened ... I'm sure everyone here remembers Stew in the whoops taking out Kdub (who was matching JS7 speed) a few yrs back in LV? If he's gonna continue to crash ok, but don't start back taking out others with you.

This guy walks around from some bad crashes ... He said he took a dinger in the whoops after the race ... He's gonna be back... He'll be racing, not following.

He did pull KR94 a ~couple bikes lengths on the previous lap in the whoops so he thought he was ready this lap .. Too bad he picked the wrong line. About every pass he made all night was by getting out of the racing line in those rhythm lanes and doing a little square off move in those big wide bermed turns.
 
KTM riders win both main events at A1. And KTM goes 1,2 in the 450 class. Congrats to semi local boy Jason Anderson on his 250 win and likeable 450 rookie on his first 450 win. The dunge was there too as usual.

An interesting point for me was when Ralph sheeheen commented on a pic sent in from a twitter fan. The fan was on an old husky. Ralph, who to me has never been very knowledgeable about sx racing or motorcycles in General said something to the effect of "will we see a husky in next years championship?" Maybe a little insider info leaked out?
That was Steve on his 82.5 500CR. Dedicated vintage Hisky nut here of Cafehusky. He shod get an award or somehing!
