Wilson looks like a giant (which compared to most of the drivers, he is).
No, it's just that I'm short.

Maybe so, but WIlson is 6'3" which is way tall for a driver.

This must have been a really experience. I hope that you enjoyed it as much as it looks.

Unfortunately, the TV coverage only showed the first car behind the S that the camera man was riding in (GP) for just a few seconds. Was Sam driving the camera car? I could not see the hood in the TV shot.

At one point I could see the cars in the back ground behind the commentators in the paddock area. But could not make out who was who.

Is there a listing of which S owners got to chauffeur which drivers? Just curious

^ The drivers were sort of assigned at random. There is a thread out there titled 'parade lap' - it has a listing of S owners that participated (by screen name) as well as the order that we lined up. As each driver was introduced, they would get into the next S in line. I think that Sam was driving the camera crew but he was a few cars behind me and near the end, some VIPs were loaded in.

I'd like to get a hold of that broadcast, as I was at the head of the line in the paddock. It was a great time, great weekend (except for the fact that I had a driver + two other corp sponsor/groupies pile into my S).

Yes, it was White-Sam who had the Versus camera man.

As 8_ball said, there is a list under the parade lap thread, which i will driver's names to tonight.

Dayum, that's a money shot. Pete, you should check with the powers that be at s2ki about getting that photo up on the homepage, fantastic exposure for IRL.
