Stats, Stats, Stats: Houston 3

Chargers vs Anchors
I actually left this a bit because I didn’t want to give people another reason to slam Dean Wilson, but he was actually riding well at H3, finishing as top Charger on a track that really didn’t produce a lot of passing. Obviously there was a bit of movement but I think we can all agree that none of the Houston tracks were the best designs we’ve ever seen.

Average Start Position
In what is “the deepest field ever”, starts are always going to be critical and apparently AC has been getting the best of positions straight away. I think Mookie being #2 surprises me as he isn’t known as a great starter, but perhaps it is just further proof of the excellent work being done by the guys at Star Yamaha.
