Been this way for quite a while, too.
15-20 years ago, (somebody help me out here) Rock Running and Kenny Shawver? tried to promote a big bucks S/SS combo.
Ended up refunding the pre-entries. Couldn't get enough collected to pay the track rental??

Mark, I am looking at the flyer right now for that race (found it when I moved last year, and kept it handy). It was to be August 1-2, 1998 at Edgewater (near Cincinnati, for those unfamiliar). And it had a rain date too. Entry/payout was to be:

Pre-entry: $200
At the gate: $225

Win - $20,000
R/U - $8,000
Semi - $4,000
1/4's - $2,000
1/8's - $1,000 (round of 16)

Plus a Saturday gamblers race, contingency, and more.

And, yes, it was cancelled due to lack of pre-entries and interest.

Thanks, BD
It should be noted that this was only 3 years before the successful Class Nationals I ..
Same part of the country..Same time of the year.

I have a copy of that flyer too in my records from 1998, along with the envelope containing my returned check and nice letter from the Runnings explaining the race was cancelled due to lack of interest, still a sore subject for me.
I attended the Loose Rocker Race at Kil Kare Michael referred to above and believe me there are still a lot of folks out there young and old that want to race and will support a hardcore race at a local track. Best racing I've seen in a long time. I've been part of putting on a combo race at that same track and we were never able to get more than 26-28 cars no matter the entry or payout and half the field were NMCA Nostalgia Cars.
