The rumour mill is running quite hot in the Exotics area of thumpertalk.com, with the current topic being that VOR is for sale/looking for a buyer.
I hope things work out for them, as they have begun to establish themselves well in Australia and the US from all reports.

The 2004 racing season was another successful one for Moto XXX. The Team's sponsors and fans were incredibly supportive and enthusiastic as their favorite underdogs secured top privateer honors in both Supercross (Damon Huffman) and the Outdoor Nationals (Kyle Lewis) as well as second place overall in the World Supercross Championship (Huffman). When that type of success becomes recurrent which it has for Moto XXX growth is inevitable.
Moto XXX Racing will enter the 2005 race season with more momentum and support than ever. Team ownership recognized the need to create a new leadership position both at the track and in the shop during the week. Duties that had long been performed by committee were consolidated to form a new Team Manager position. The only thing missing was someone to fill those shoes. Fortunately, the search was a short one. Allan Brown, who has been serving as Kyle Lewis' mechanic for the past three years, will take the reins and run the day-to-day operations of the team.
The Full Throttle Sports Victorian ThumperX was held at the Pakenham Motor Sports Complex on Sunday 10 October on a beautiful sunny Melbourne day. ACS Racing had five riders entered and as usual the Juniors were on fire with two first places and a third.
The senior riders Ryan Smyth and Adrian Salmon in the Clubman Lites both had good rides and a great day. The track was a grass field complete with yellow daisies in full bloom that soon turned into a tough track with ruts, braking bumps and slippery corners but it still remained a fun track that tested both bike and rider.
The youngest team member Luke Smith had a great weekend on the ACS Racing Yamaha TTR125. Luke won the Club Thumpers class at the Nunawading and District Motocross Club s third round of their club championships on Saturday 9 October 2004 and then won the Up to 125cc 4 stroke class at the ThumperX at Pakenham on Sunday 10 October 2004.
