What Boycott are you referring to?
The Current MWRA Point Leader Won the Event. The current Driver in 5th place MWRA points ran 3rd. Nobody that races MWRA is a full time Racer. They all have Jobs or Businesses to be at on Monday Morning. Sometimes tough choices have to be made. There’s no Boycott going on. Some guys just can’t do the traveling.

May not be an "Official Boycott" but the numbers don't lie,Head to Head MWRA have outdrawn WAR every time. There is room for both to coexist. WAR could focus next year I more Iowa Illinois races and their car count would go up Irregardless of MWRA schedule!

What you really need to look at is the start money at these shows where traveling is required. 300 wasn't bad and we were going to race it when there was an Iowa Sprint League race piggybacking on it but that got cancelled after the date changed. Not worth taking time off work, transportation costs, etc for a one off show. Hopefully they try it again next year and there can be another race or 2 scheduled around it to entice more teams to make the haul.
