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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Could not have been 74-77 as Wolsink won O/A those years. If I recall Mikkola broke his streak in 78 cause Wolsink had a mechanical. 1980 had LOP privateer Marty Moates win and aside from Carlqvist winning it one year it was an American led winning streak until the GP ceased to be in 1986. Lackey had swithched to Honda from Husky and Kessler went from Bultaco to Yammaha so I am gonna guess 78

That was indeed the 1978 US GP. And here's a read about the winner that has so much info it may force out of your brain some thing important like how to walk, so careful!

carlsbad never really a husky track, too slick and hard....and hakan was riding a 79 proto still with the 35mm forks must have had a strong gonads for the hard pack concrete of carlsbad and even if he had 1980 412cc hop up kit he would never had the power of the other bikes that day.
