Can You Drive There From Lansing?

Louisville is exactly six hours from the Lansing area, so it's not too bad of a drive. I have never been to the Derby but will go there sometime. It’s a very interesting place to be. The ladies wear huge hats and people are swilling Mint Juleps at will. It’s really a venue you should check out at least once in your life.

Even if you don’t bet on any of the races, a person should go to Churchill Downs in Louisville just to be entertained.
