The Friday evening races were to include relays in addition to the ultimate (above). ;A sudden storm sent everyone running to the dorm before these races were completed. Because Saturday's events moved without a hitch, all relays were held before supper. LEN SALVERDA (left) The one sound that characterized the 1986 NUM was the electronic whine from LEN SALVERDA's device that detected backward movement for use on the slow race. (see Vol. 12, no. 4) The "MISFITS" (a grou of independents) enjoyed entering the competition. Here ;When not competing there 'IDM MILLER juggles 1was ample to do. KEN his 16' girafFc.

The excellent announcers kept the action moving; and the use of two judging teams (one for standard class, the other for open) made for interest~ ing viewing. A new addition this year was the blue curtain backdrop. The framework for this was created by TOM MILLER, IOIA MITIDN purchased the quantity of sheets necessary for that great an expanse, and JAN IAYNE did the ripping and sewing necessary to create the proper length. The benefit of this to both the audience and judges was tremendous. The practicing that is always a part of any NUM was done behind this backdrop - without interfering with the competition in the foreground.
