CIPHE: Concepts In Performance Handling

CIPHeR 156: Nito powering through Turn 2 on the Oakland track

(peep the tucked fenders! tiight!)

He spun out...good thing he didn't FLIP!

Dorkness monster! Apparently the flip powered a little too much throught the corner.

He tried to drift and spun out! Putang ina...Tarantado ca! His dad is gonna have a whole

elaborate lecture (complete with charts) on how he could have avoided this spin by the time they gets home.

"Remember, son...When in a spin, both feet in!"

SF Region SCCA Round2 (Feb. 9, 1997)

Damn. Doesn't this guy look like a 10 year old???? What an ASSHOLE! haha.. that must suck to hear that all the time, but still ..all the girls either jock him for his hazel eyes, or his 10.5 to 1 compression.

Good old Greg (Nito's dad) conducting another "seminar" on the Mini Cooper's suspension geometry. *"You know, I used to practice drifting with my Mini Cooper when I drove up freeway entrances. Mine was dark green with a white top, just like this one. Ganda!"*
`Peep the #3 TRD Corolla! Tight!`	`Nito in line representing CIPHeR.`
