Dijon Compton secured his first podium of the 2007 season this weekend at Snetterton Circuit, Norfolk, in the Metzeler National Superstock Cup Championships. The 28-year-old from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire stood in third position on the podium, his first rostrum visit since racing in the British Superbike Cup in 2004. Compton who started from 11th on the grid had a great race moving his way confidently through the field and bringing the Astro Kawasaki home in a stunning third place. From the third row the Yorkshireman gained a fantastic start and was up to sixth after the first lap and fourth after the second lap, after passing Dean Johnson and Tom Clegg. Lap four saw Compton move up to third past Jonathan Howarth and hold his position for the remainder of the 14-lap race.
Dijon Compton secured his first top ten position this weekend at Oulton Park in the tough Metzeler Superstock Cup. The 28-year-old from Huddersfield worked hard all weekend and only the changing weather conditions on race day let him down.

Dijon Compton once again got in the points at Silverstone Circuit this weekend finishing in a comfortable 12th position in the Metzeler National Superstock Cup.

It was a disappointing end to the weekend at Thruxton Circuit for Dijon Compton. The 28-year-old from Huddersfield was looking strong throughout the weekend in the National Superstock Cup Championship and a loose chain in the race saw him having to struggle to finish in 23rd place.
28-year-old Dijon Compton made a welcome return to racing this weekend at Brands Hatch Circuit in the competitive Superstock Cup class. Compton who has not ridden since June 2004 due to personal reasons gained a strong 15th place in the Cup race at the technical 2.3 mile circuit. Having very few opportunities to test the Astro Racing Kawasaki, he had to learn the bike and also the circuit again. Settling in well through the weekend Compton improved on his times in each session and slowly progressed up the time sheets.
