A post on this was already begun.

This thread has been moved into it.

Further details on the group for this event may be found in the MINICCI forums here.

 

Butler U? Kind of tough place to get to from the Southside, then to have to go back to the track.

If you are coming up 65 from KY, then I would guess you would want to go west on 465 to get to the track. There are lots of places along 465 to meet. The Flying J at exit 4 might be a good place to pull off.

 

There have already been changes to the meeting point.
