After the GP of Indy, I wasn't able to leave for home as early as I had hoped for on Sunday morning, so I decided to spend a brief time at the track to catch the opening of Indy500 practice. I walked around the garage area to try and take photos of Pippa Mann's pink race car. Pippa is using the month of May to raise money for Susan G. Koman. Unfortunately, Pippa's car was still behind closed doors, but I did snap some photos during my walk around the garages. Sadly, I had to leave before any cars did any real practice runs because of the long drive that lay ahead of me. Next year, I will be sure to plan my trip better.
