"...expression of protest or disfavor or as a means of coercion." I have different reasons for Lovelock and RFR events, non of which meet that definition.

The short version of the reasons are:

Lovelock: Speeds I would drive vs. safety (equipment in my car, at the site, and location, and site conditions.) This is no way disparaging of the event, or the organizers, but a personal weighing of the risks vs. benefits.

RFR: As an instructor I can typically pay a similar amount of money that gets me 1 day at a SCCA RFR day for 2 days at an Audi or other club event often with food provided, and not having to work a corner, and with my car insurance fully in force. Again, not disparaging in any way.

Would I prefer that they run a different type of event that was more to my liking, yes, but again, that is personal preference/opinion/choice, not a boycott.

P.S. I have participated at Solo1s at lovelock in the past with the old course design.
