Cindy McCain takes the wheel in her own race
E:60 (ESPN) ^ | 9/13/08 | David Picker

Cindy McCain doesn't remember all the details. It might have been six years ago. Maybe seven. But this much, at least, McCain recalls with perfect clarity: She was watching television with her oldest son, Jack, when footage flashed across the screen of race cars skidding sideways as though they were on ice.

CHECK OUT THE VIDEO TOO AT THE LINK.

Wow, I had no idea that Cindy McCain was into motorsports. Of course, we live in the United States of America, and I really shouldn’t be surprised. After all, we do have a VP candidate who hunts and owns a float plane, and whose husband races snow machines.

Cindy McCain is also a pilot Crolis.. But I do not know post her stroke if she would fly again.

Newsweek did an expose on her this past summer that suprised me in it's neutrality and how indepth they were with Cindy.

So many dimensions to her, her work in Africa etc. with the sick and children is amazing, what a remarkable woman.

Compare her to Michelle my Bell, there is no comparison.

So, I wonder if this is the first ticket ever that both candidates and their spouses can fly a plane.

Not as impressive and shoving poor patients out the door of the elite hospital and sending them to lesser facilities.

"Compare her to Michelle my Bell, there is no comparison."

Michelle has never done nothing for anyone but herself. "Movin' on up" is her only ambition.

Paudio, Probably. I still have not heard for definitively, but I've had Freepers contact me privately that Sarah is a pilot.

Thanks for posting this - I knew she and Jack had a drift racing team but I didn't know the background behind it...

drift racing at Camp David.

How cool would that be?

Obama's idea of racing:
