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.
