First Saturday of November, LEVEL BE DAMNED!!!!

So, as you all should know the Green is raced every year on the first Saturday in november. LEVEL BE DAMNED. Does anyone remember November 6th,2004? I do. This was the day all but 8 green racers said not me, water is too high! Some said they'd wait a year and some tried to reschedule a race for the first saturday of December. It fell through. Why? because no matter waht the official green race day always has been and always will be on the FIRST SATURDAY OF NOVEMBER. if you're not experienced enough or just plain chicken to race that day then step aside. On November 6th 2004 the level of the green was upwards of 250% and only 8 stepped up. results, links to photos and videos are posted below
