Thanks for the help, everyone. I did realize it was in the signature after I posted, but I'm often in error.
As with a few ads I've posted before, you can see how the original plans for the comics changed between when the ads appeared and when the actual comics came out, as regards SUPERMAN No. 199 (August 1967). The Go-Go Checks were still going strong when the Superman-Flash race was first promoted in the Direct Currents.
But by the time the actual comic came out, on June 20th, 1967, the Checks had gone (sadly).
It didn't take long for a rematch, as the Man of Tomorrow and the Sultan of Speed had their next track meet in THE FLASH 175 (December 1967), on sale October 19th, 1967.

My first DC comics back in '73 were in a Super Pac (which was almost as good as a Comicpac by having 3 comics instead)!
