Walking the Garages at Indy Speedway!

Look out! That’s the advice I’d give anyone before attempting to walk through the garages at Indy Motor Speedway. While I was navigating that gorgeous mess of carbon fiber and horsepower earlier today, I was living in terror of tripping over something and breaking off a very expensive piece of very expensive race car. And I wasn’t even drunk—that’s how crowded it is. Crew members on golf carts or bicycles are constantly whizzing by, race cars are being towed through the throngs of fans, and the soundtrack is a cocktail of racing engines, crackling radios and utter awe. All the cars set to race the 500 were safely tucked into their garages, but I did manage to snap a bunch of decent pics of the Indy Lights cars before they hit the track for the Freedom 100. Check them out after the jump.
