Nope, didn't see it. In fact, Lisa and I don't have a TV so we never catch the Leno show or any other show <g> (Come to think of it, there *is* an old 13-inch portable TV somewhere in the basement that occasionally gets dragged out when Lisa's mother visits, but it only gets 3 channels, one is the local PBS stations and I don't know what the other two are.) Anyway, I heard about the Tonight Show appearance. I saw the two older Hayden brothers racing at Nelson Ledges in the early 90's when they were about 14-15 years old. They're small guys now but they were *tiny* kids! Rode Honda RS 125 race bikes in the Clubman class. Just before they went out I heard their father tell them "Now if it starts raining real hard, y'all back off a little" (they were running on racing slicks). They demolished the field. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
