Full Send into Forever: RallyCross Couple Gets Engaged

Chris Cipperly and Nina Liang - Newly Engaged They Came to Rally, They Left Engaged Some love stories are written in the dirt, and Chris Cipperly and Nina Liang have quite the story to tell! This Massachusetts-based couple has spent plenty of time traveling to rallycross events with other SCCA regions, putting in the miles, dodging cones, and making memories along the way. But when they finally made it out to a New England Region SCCA event, they added a pretty unforgettable milestone to the list. Chris proposed to Nina that morning, and she said YES! Of course, a little thing like getting engaged wasn’t going to stop them from having some fun sliding sideways. They still came out to race and are already planning plenty more racing adventures together! We’re so glad NER Rallycross got to be part of their story, and we can’t wait to see where the next chapter takes them. Congratulations, Chris and Nina!
