We have received some news from across the pond! David Compton has joined the CML / Associated team for 2012!

 

 

David is a fantastic addition to the CML team bringing with him 35 years of racing experience.
 
The 8 Times BRCA National Champion is pleased to announce he is back in the saddle. Not only is David fired up for the 2012 season and excited about racing competitively again but his pit man and proud father 'Stan The Man' is back out of retirement and will be riding shot gun all the way. It is great to see both David and his dad attending the races again. CML and Team Associated are very proud to have them on-board but It doesn't stop there...
 
David has also made the switch to Reedy Engines, bringing with him a vast amount of knowledge in the engine department. David is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to engines and for him to make the leap shows just how much confidence he has in the products. David has already been racking up the wins and podium finishes. He's off to a flying start.
 
Not only is David a fantastic ambassador for the products he races but his knowledge will run deep throughout the team to help improve everybody's overall performance. He also brings with him a different approach to set-up and engine tuning for the club racers and this has already made a difference. Knowing that David likes a less aggressive car to drive has promoted many of the team drivers to adopt the same approach. Now they are faster and smoother with a car that's easier to drive and a engine set-up that's puuurrrrr-fect. Watch out for the less aggressive set-up sheets that will be posted on CML's web site. It gives another angle to work on and is already proving to be a hit at the local clubs.
 
David claims that,
"I like to drive a car thats easy to drive and know that most people can pick my car up and drive it. Club drivers like to push 110% and attack a track and expect the car to do things that the Pro drivers don't. Many of the Pro's have a set-up that's aggressive and fast but very hard to drive. Their cars have raw speed but the drivers drive at 90%. A hard car to drive means more mistakes especially in longer finals. I sit in the middle and need a car thats easy to drive. My less aggressive set-ups are filtering throughout the team already and everybody that drives my car loves it and says how easy it is. This is important for me and the club guys to have a car thats easy to drive."
 

We are all very excited to have David and Stan join the CML racing team to represent Team Associated, Reedy and Pro-Line.
