Re: 2007 New Hampshire Regional (BAE SYSTEMS Granite State Regional)

Another year, another great regional. Congratulations 190 on your chairmen's, you definitely have a shot in ATL. In a stunning turn of events, another BattleCry S.T.A.R. and UFH won a WFFA. Congratulations Dan, and the rest of team 40. And I've got to hand it to the Powerknights and company, you guys pulled it off in a big way.

I too got chills down my spine with the signing applause. Dean's speech was pretty darn good as well. Woodie was back for the first time since 2004, which I thought was pretty awesome.

A few comments:

-Next year, can rookie inspectors be teamed up with veteran inspectors, and at least given a crash course of what to expect?

-Entrance and Exit for the pits

It is a good idea, but less than perfect in solution. Traffic flow was much smoother in years prior when the additional gate was open. I like the the fact that safety glasses were handed out, but just one or two more entrances would have made things much smoother.

-Food

I don't know what you guys are talking about. It just isn't BAE without a chicken tender basket ($6.50) and souvenir soda ($3.50). I don't consider $10 a terrible deal for lunch.

And finally...

Thank you, very much to the GDC who designed this game. I thought it was on par with 2004, my favorite game thus far. Raising the Bar was my first game, and I think everyone recalls their first game as the best. This one was better.
